Any advice for me? first rig being built!

[Homiestar]

Hello fellows! I come to thee with a list of parts i plan on running in my gaming rig!

Motherboard = Crosshair V Formula
CPU = FX-8150 Zambezi 3.6GHz
GPU = ASUS EAH6850 DC/2DIS/1GD5/V2 Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card (May get another one later on for xFire)
PSU = CORSAIR Professional Series HX850 (CMPSU-850HX) 850W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC (850 enough?)
Memory = GSKILL Ripjaws 2x4
HDD/SSD = Seagate barracuda SATA 6gbs 500gb HDD/ Samsung 60gb SSD
Watercooling = Honestly, I want to go with a corsair system, but can you guys recommend me which one? within 80$ or so
Case = Coolermaster storm enforcer (Already have, measured out and everything will fit.) getting another 200mm fan for the top

I plan on OC'ing this baby ;) and I plan on ordering by next week, so i will have pics and a thread going for it once the stuff gets here!

Thanks for the time used to reply back to a noob! xD

Welcome HomieStar to ROG ..

850 should be plenty .. I use a 650 without issue with 2 x 6850
Im not a fan of the RAM - but others have had great success with it ..
As to the Corsair .. that answers itself .. unless there is a sale .. its the $80 one..

Best of Luck .... noob ? hahahhaha .... Friend, noobs dont find this forum 'first'.
Noobs already know it all .. rush in .. find 'here' by accident or frustration ...
when the proverbial you know what hits the fan ... hahahhaa
You will do well ... doors always open .. hope to see those pics soon.c.

Thanks chrsplmr! The main thing i was worried about i guess is is 850 too much headroom? or does it really matter? And found the water cooling system you mentioned! I plan on making this thing as clean as I can get it wire management wise.

Thanks again c:

on the cooling to the cpu there are those who run the H100 on this forum ( 2x120 fan radiator ) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181017
but i guess you can do a H80 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181016
but the price is over $100 on both.
you have the H60 too http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181015
but i have no one of those so i cant say for shure whats best, but the H100 wouldent be a baad choice if so.

Hello again, I am switching out my memory to Corsair Vengeance (2x4gb). Just wondering if this certain memory is compatible with the CHVF? Also I am ordering Thursday afternoon, so be expecting pictures up next week :3

Also upgraded to the GOLD certified of the PSU!

[Homiestar]

Is this memory compatible with this board? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233180

Just making sure as i may order tonight
