I'm curious if the following hardware would be compatible with each other:

GIGABYTE GA-P55-USB3

Intel Core i5 760

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB

Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 

SAPPHIRE 100253HDMI Radeon HD 4650 512MB 

Thanks

Everything looks good, but I don't know if the 4650 video card is compatible or not. You may want to think about an 5770.
 
I looked at the 5770, but I was looking for something a little less expensive. I don't do any gaming or anything. I looked at the 8400gs, but it seems theres no HDMI. Is there anything in the price range of the 8400gs that has HDMI and works well?

Thanks, the GT220 looks better. Would you mind giving your opinion as to which one?

Forgot to ask two things:

1) What is the best CD RW drive (cheapest and compatible)? I just want something to burn CD's

2) Is a 380W or 420W PSU going to be enough?

1) Sony and Pioneer drives are the most compatible (good luck trying to find a Pioneer drive)

2) 380W to 420W sounds a little low, I would go with at least a 500W, and ideally a Corsair brand PSU

P.S. The 5770 GPU is currently on sale at newegg for $125 (after rebate)

Ideally, the Corsair VX450W... (It's actually a 500W, and a great one ;))
 
I appreciate the help.

I'm wondering though, should I be getting the I5 Quad, or should I go with the I3 3GHZ. Im leaning towards the I5 right now...
