new build

[Duke of Nada]

This computer will be used for gaming mostly. I planning on using my 40" hd tv for the monitor

asrock P67 extreme4

sapphire Radeon HD 6950

I5 2500k

(2x2gb) DDR3 1600 Crucial Ballistix Tracer (newegg's memory tool said they would work with my mother board, but I don't remember seeing them on the manufacture supported memory page.)

I'm using the 250gig Seagate barracuda sata 3.0 harddrive and muskin enhanced 550w psu and computer case from my current pc

Here is the specs of the psu

Congratulations? Are you asking a question or just posting what you intend buy?

 

[Duke of Nada]

Sorry, I was wondering if it will all work together. Mainly the psu and memory.

 

[mvbighead]

Yep, looks good to me.

The newer series of processors are reportedly very low in power requirements. Memory fits the board, so should be good there.

I would assume your case is a mid-tower ATX or better, so you should be fine there as well.

 

[Duke of Nada]

Thanks, the case is a huge full tower atx.

The parts will work together, but they are by no means ideal for what you are trying to accomplish. Check this out instead:

i5 2500K + G.Skill DDR3 1600 8GB combo $297 - only slightly more (after combo discount) for twice the memory
ASRock Z68 Pro 3 $130 - with a single GPU, there isn't much need for the Extreme 4 IMHO.
