Hopefully I can get some rebates and discount codes in the future might drop back into the $850 range XD

Can someone help me out and see if all the parts are compatible to each other??

Some links are broken so I can't tell.
 
Honestly I'd stay away from 1TB drives.
If anything, just get 2 500GB drives and run them @ Raid 0 for better performance.

Newegg.com - CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9

Corsair TX, HX and AX series are all good, depending on if you plan to run 2x Video cards later or not. If yes, then get >=850W, esle get 650W is more plenty for a single video card set up.

man!!! I wish I can give you my Silverstone Optimus 1000W but one 47R member already booked my PSU so I have to save it for him. If he gives it up like KYU did then its yours.

Aw man you should of told me XD HAha

I picked up a CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX850 V2 850W ATX12V v2.31/ EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply. I think it will do be good for a while plus i believe i can OC this as well

Can someone tell me what Raid is and how I get it to setup?? I was thinking of having my future SSD to Raid 0 but I dont know what Raid 0/Raid 1 is XD
 
Intel will release a driver which will support TRIM when you raid SSD, but as of right now....if you raid SSD you will loose TRIM function which I think is very important.

I dont suggest Raid 0 if you will use the Raid array for storage as 1 drive die, you will loose all your data. Unless, you go Raid 10 which required at least 4 drives

for performance, you want raid 0 (strip array required at least 2 drives) all the drives in Raid 0 will work in parallel meaning if you copy/read a file to a (2x drives) Raid 0 array then 1 drive will copy/read 50% of that file and the other drive will copy/read the other 50%, that will cut the time in half comparing to a single drive. If you have 3 drives Raid 0 array then each drive will copy/read 33% of the file in parallel...you get the picture?

Raid 10 is also for performance but has back up which required at least 4x drives.....2x drives will act like Raid 0 while the other 2x drives act like Raid 1, mirroring the 2x drives that act like Raid 0. Therefore, you still have your data if 2 out of the 4 drives die.

I don't like Raid 1 which is very slow....I am using Raid 5 and Raid 6 in my server as storage.

Raid 5 (required at least 3x drives) = if 1x drive die you still have your data
Raid 6 (requried at least 4x drives)= if 2x drives die you still have your data

PS: I hope you can understand my broken english :)
