Power supply/GPU help

Hello everyone, I recently purchased this Radeon 7950 graphics card and this 500W power supply. My first question is whether these are going to work together (I know the graphics card requires a minimum of a 500W power supply, am I going to have problems with exactly the minimum?) and my...

Okay, comparing them side by side helped a lot. It's clear that with the rebate, the Asus is by far the best option.

I've been looking at some of the processor/motherboard deals that newegg has right now, and I'm not sure what the difference is between some of these motherboards: This is the one Termie posted above: ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI...

Cool, thanks again Termie. I think I'm going to go with the 3570K package you linked above, unless you can think of a better bang for the buck processor out there in that price range. Also, that case is sweet. Awesome suggestion.

Thanks a bunch for the input, Termie. I can be a bit flexible on the budget, if you think more RAM would be worth it. Good to know about the tower case. The 900 still popped up as the best rated one on NewEgg, so I stuck with it. I considered going with SSD, but my impression had been that...

Alright, I realize that bumping old threads is likely frowned upon, but I figured I'd rather bump my old one than start anew. It's been nearly three years since I initially posted and I never actually got around to buying this computer, so everything's out of date. I'm going to try again...

Thanks for the tips everyone. My initial budget had been 1500, but it's clear that I can build the computer I want for less than that. Maybe ~1200. Resolution, probably 1920 x 1080. What's the difference between hard drive colors?

So I've decided to build a gaming computer but am a bit out of the loop with regards to hardware these days. The only computer I've had for the last six or seven years has been a laptop for schoolwork, which hasn't exactly been up to par for gaming. I've done a bit of research, and this is...
