New Setup

[Dawgdoc]

About to pull the trigger on this setup and wanted some last minute confirmation to see if there are any red flags

I allready have a Q6600 SLACR on order from Clubit that will be here shorty. I allready have an EVGA 8800 GTX 768 and a Samsung 226 BW that I will be bringing over from my old system.

Mobo:Asus P5K Premium Black Pearl: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131190

Memory: 2 X 2gb sticks Patriot DDR2 800 extreme performance 5-5-5-12: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820220227

Case: Antec P182: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129025

PSU: Corsair 620 HX: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139002

Drives: 3 X Seagate Barracuda 250 gb, 7200.10, 16mb cache, SATA 3.0Gb/s: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148262

HS: TR Ultra 120- Extreme: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835109140

Optical Drives: 2X Samsung SH-S203B: http://www.newegg.com:80/Product/Pro...82E16827151153

Purpose for the new rig is:
1. Im enjoying learning more about computers and OCing and want to put together a nice system.
2. Online gaming

Im still debating between the Antec P182 and the Antec 900, or a CM stacker/CM 832 or something.....but I figure thats no big deal either way I go.....

Im not 100% sure on drives, but from my research thus far I purposely did not go with raptors since I have heard they are loud, and the barracudas should be close in performance and a ton quieter (i am told).

The CPU, Mobo, Memory, PSU, and HS im pretty rock solid on, unless someone tells me Im missing something......

Any red flags? Anything that doesnt look right? Am I forgetting anything? I need A5S, and the drives that I have listed dont come with SATA cables from newegg so I need those....sandpaper for lapping, zip ties, Scythe-S for the TR Ultra 120-E.....and.......?

Anything else?

Thanks,

Dawgdoc

It's OK, but keep in mind that you have to remove middle HDD cage from P182 to fit that GTX, so all your HDD's will stay in bottom chamber.
Oh, and why 3x250GB HDD's instead one 750GB? Barracuda 7200.11 ST3750330AS for example.
And two DVD-RW?

And I suggest a Scythe KAMA PWM for TR Ultra Extreme to properly use PWM CPU fan header.

Burebista TYVM for the input.

I was unaware of that with the P182. I may need to rethink that case.

The 3 HD (Im going to downsize to 2...) is for RAID 0.

I am also going to downgrade to 1 DVD-RW as well

Cool. Wasnt aware there was an incompatability issue with that mobo and other fans? Ill check out that fan.

Thx!

No, no. It's not a incompatibility, but if you use a 3 pin fan into a 4 pin PWM header, you can't control your fan speed (from BIOS or Speedfan/whatever).
That's all.

There's an issue with the P5K Premium boards with regards to SATA hard drives. Look into it before buying it. I'd suggest a different board, like the P5K-E.

I have 5 'cudas, and they're as loud as my raptor. I'm not sure if that means they're louder than what people have been saying, or if my raptor is quieter than what people have been saying.
