New Computer

So I will buy the 6GB GSKILL PI CL7 DDR3 12800 1600MHZ TRI-CHANNEL (3x2GB) Timings: 7-8-7-24

At a good price of 120€.

Here is the choosen parts:

Coolmaster HAF 932 (yeah the HAF X is better, it looks very cool but is 50€ more to do allmost the same, and this one is enought)

Asus ROG Rampage III Extreme

i7 950

6GB GSKILL PI CL7 DDR3 12800 1600MHZ TRI-CHANNEL (3x2GB)

Corsair AX850

WESTERN DIGITAL 3,5" Caviar Black WD1002FAEX - 1 TB - 7200 rpm - 64 MB - SATA-600 (I dont like samsung)

EVGA GTX 570 (waiting to price drops a bit. And to be available)

Furure adds:

OCZ Vertex 2 Sandforce 1200 120GB SSD (R: 285MB W: 275MB)

Noctua NH-D14

EVGA GTX570 ( when price really drops, like in 12/18 months)

Thats All

There is any compability problem between the motherboard and RAm (Because of ram be 1.5V)?

Before I had a AX850 but now I think is better to buy the Corsair HX1000 right? Because I will have more Headroom when doing SLI and OC.

My last question is: Its really necessary to use Anti-static stuff? ( Because I dont have any. I was wondering if I will need to buy just to build the rig.

Thats all.
 
When handling sensible parts of your rig (processor, ram, hardrive etc.) you want to make sure you are grounded at all times. This way you don't run the risk of your yourself getting electrically charged and shorting the parts you are touching. The easiest way to do this is touching your power suplly while it is plugged into a (grounded) outlet while the switch on the back is off.

I can not emphasise enough just how important that is. If you don't have an ESD strap then leave the power cable plugged in with the PSU switched off (this keeps the rig grounded) and lean your flesh onto the metal of the case as often as you can in order to keep yourself grounded. This is particularly more important when working on carpet, and especially a nylon or wool carpet.
