Will all of these parts work together? *UPDATE 2*

Stupid thread title, but I honestly can't think of a better summary. I'm not looking for opinions on the build itself, I just want to know if it's all compatible (pretty sure it is, but I might have overlooked something). Unless there's something really alarming with my parts selection (things that are going to break really easily or don't work very well without a lot of tweaking), then please let me know.

    Yes, they will, but I'd go for a beefier power supply if I were you, 500 watts is cutting it pretty fine.

    Any recommendations? I know it's only 500 watts but it has 22 amps on the +12V rail, which according to the OP of the PC thread in H&A is sufficient for even a 450 watt supply.

    I'd drop the PSU and case, and pick up a Antec Sonata III. I'm running an XFX 8800GT XXX on the same PSU with no problems.

    Unless you're getting two 8800ultras, skip the SLI boards, and pick up a P35 to save some cash. The E8400 is cheaper and the same speed.

    I can attest to the quality of LITE-ON Black 20X DVD Burner, it's pretty fast. I'd go ahead and pick up OCZ Titanium XTC 4GB(2 x 2GB) with the money you save, it's a good deal faster and you get twice as much as what you have.

    I'll take your word for it. The worst thing that can happen is the PSU dies and I need a new one. Thanks guys

    Antec has some pretty bitchin' PSU's, and that's one of the best in the market(for 500watts).
