Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V Ver.2.2 / EPS12V version 2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply

Pros: Great for my i7-950 computer. More than I needed though I decided to spend $10-$20 more for a great brand and for 150w more power to future-proof my computer.

Cons: None.

Western Digital Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Runs ok. Only gets a rating of 5.9 under windows (everything else I have is over 7). WD makes good drives so it should last forever.

Cons: Kinda slow, though it is reliable.

Rosewill Anti-Static Wrist Strap ESD Anti Shock Wristband Bracelet (Packaging May Vary) - RTK-002

Pros: It definitely works. When my brother put my computer together, he had his socks on and everything and nothing broke. Took it apart later on to make the cords more organized and nothing broke that time either!

Cons: None.

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL

Pros: Great RAM at a great price.

Cons: These sticks came in a cracked package, this could have damaged the sticks themselves. However it didn't though I was surprised to see this come from newegg.

ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Great, clean motherboard. Easy to use and install.

Cons: PCI ports are a little to far to the right. This caused some problems with my graphics card because I couldn't put the retaining screws back on without forcing the card back. Though it works so everything is good. Also had a problem with my GPU. I have the XFX 5770 and the audio through the HDMI port was not working. This was fixed by disabling the HD Audio under the BIOS. Just a heads up for anyone with the same GPU as me.

XFX Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-577A-ZNFC

Pros: Amazing graphics card. Haven't got to playing games with it yet though it's going to be awesome. Kinda big for my case though it fits!

Cons: I had a problem with getting the audio to come through the HDMI port on this. The problem was fixed by going into the BIOS settings and disabling the HD Audio. Just a heads-up for anyone who runs into this issue.
