Build Help - Phenom 9950 BE

[xplozion]

Hello everyone! Yes! im new here. :yessir:

So heres the story:

I am on building an new gaming rig. SO far i have:


AMD Phenom 9950 BE
BFG Nvidia GTX OC 260
Thermaltake Armor Series VA8000BWS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer
Corsair 620W HX Power Supply (CMPSU-620HX)
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory + FAN


Thats what i have in hand so far.

I need help from to pros about the mobo. I been doing lots of research and according to have i have read i should get something with NB FX750 SB750. This is to have some nice OCing. Im not much of an expert but i am trying to make a comeback for OCing

As for cooling the CPU i been thinking on:

Tuniq Tower 120 a friend told me its one if the best in business.
There will be nice airflow on the Case.

So what you guys recomend as for mobo?
And any nice cheap HDDs for RAID? Thanks!

or this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186149)

Something i noticed is>

Every one or actually most people using ATI cards on this AMD mobos...

Did i make the wrong choice buying a BFG Nvidia GTX OC 260 card???

Of course...:p:
No it is a user preference really. I use all AMD just cause I feel it work great together.

The Tuniq is far from being the best. I would get an IFX-14, TRUE, Vendetta 2, or S-1283.

Im looking all over
