First time I be building a PC. Although I have guidance by someone who has been building computers for years, I wanted to check that all of this is compatible and I haven't forgotten anything. Oh and if you know of cheaper places to get these parts, please tell me.

Lol, u buy a i7 and 12 gb of ram, and then u buy 2 times a 8800GTX? Then just buy a ATi HD 4890 X2 (or something like that). I dont say that the 8800gtx is bad, but imo its just a waste.
O btw, 1000 watts is way to much i think.

When I say "Included" it means I am using them from my current PC. I may upgrade to a newer GFX card one day.
Oh and I don't like ATi. I much preffer Nvidia.

580 Euros for an i7? Quite a lot if you ask me.

Not for the i7 965, since it's the "Extreme Edition", but it's quite useless and way overpriced.
If I had to choose, I would buy an Intel i7 with socket 1156, and not an i7 with 1366 socket.
For example the i7 820 or 860.
And don't let the name fool you, a higher number isn't always better. The i7 9xx are socket 1366, i7 8xx are socket 1156.

Thank you Sander. It is very helpful to have a meaningful responce!
Oh and could someone tell me if these are all compatible?

the ones you posted in your startpost should be compatible, but if you decide to get an LGA1156 socket cpu you would have to change the mainboard.

Right I'm gonna go buy! =D

As Sander mentioned dont get the i7 965, your paying triple the price for a small increase in performance over the 860 or 920. You can easily overclock the i7's to 965 speeds and even higher with that liquid cooling setup.
