Solve : Amd Phenom 965 build check?

Answer»

Hi

I'm going to build my first pc and I'm wondering if this build is good?/will work? and are their any better options I could do?

I am also getting another video card and possible overclocking of cpu and I don't about the ram because it says 1600 overclock on the mobo so how do I use the memory to the max? and will I need a cooling for the mobo

Thanks for the help.
