yes all the parts will fit together, good choice on the case as i have the same one and it has good ventilation. Seems like you should have a good build going on, as for the power supply you might need a little bit more juice. I would recommend a 550 or 600w psu and a good brand that way it will last you for life.
I have to say that probably the best thing i ever bought was a 550w corsair psu. Anyway have fun with the build and good luck. :)

I am against getting a Thuban especially when Bulldozer is just a few weeks away. Wait a little while longer or get an Intel Sandy Bridge build now if you can't wait a few more weeks.

looks fine and will all work together... :) The power supply will be fine with the parts you'v selected! unless your planing on running 5 or more hard drives! or overclocking.

dma0991 is right... you may want to wait until after the 7th of June for Bulldozer and the AMD990 chipset boards to come out

If anything it will most likely reduce the price of that motherboard and CPU by a worthwhile ammount and you can either pocket that money or use it on something else.

OR even buy a Bulldozer cpu + motherboard at the same price... ( IF AMD Bulldozer comes out at the same price as the 6 core 1055T )

When you subtract out the power supply from that combo you are basically left with a $290~$300 cpu/motherboard combo. That seems quite steep to me for an AMD combo. i5 2500k is only $225. So if you can find a mobo for $about $70, you are going to get much better performance from the intel. (Much as it pains me to say that). MSI H61M-E33 is only $70. And you even get a free flash drive when you buy a 2500k.

But I would just wait a couple months for u-no-what lol.

If that is the case then getting a SB build would be the best choice. It should give you the most performance/price compared to the 1055T. For the same amount of money you're paying for the 1055T + AM3 board you should get this instead.

Core i5 2400

MSI PH67S-C43

These 2 items should come about the same price as the 1055T + AM3 board. As for the PSU you can get a Corsair CX500 which should be a better unit than the Thermaltake.

I think most of the guys here make a good point. We are so close to a new AMD CPU, it would just be a good idea to wait another few weeks.
