Rig Recommendation please.

Hi all, heading down to SLS this sat. can comment on my build?

MSI B85 G43 Gaming 4690 [$412]
WD Blue 1GB [$69]
Crucial BX100 120 GB [$98]
Kingston PC3-1600 DDR3 2 x 4GB [$74]
Samsung 24x DVDRW [$21]
NZXT Phantom 410 [$159]
MSI R9 290X 4GB Gaming [$44x]
FSP AURUM S GOLD 500W [?]
Windows ??

Going for 4690 cos i need that extra juice to run some computational intensive operations.
dont really need large SSD i guess, just need to put my OS and the software which runs my operations.
NZXT Phantom is purely due to preference and unlikely to change it
Is the graphic card okay? not that fussy about the best gaming performance... can play current game with decent graphics can liao.
how much is the FSP AURUM ?
what windows should i get? 7 or 8? I am fine with 8 tbh.

and most important of all... all the parts are compatible with each other rite?

Sorry for the noob questions.

Phantom bad cable management case. Can up your PSU abit to 600w.

If need the extra mhz get a oc'able proc with a decent cooler?

290X lightning is binned chip and specially designed pcb for good OC. Otherwise if can find gaming will be fine too.

No need to downgrade 290x , for psu superflower 650 gold would be good

I think the 600w fsp aurum gold is about $10+ more, why don't consider that???

And instead of kingston value rams, how about silicon power ddr3 1600 4GB x 2 dual channel kit??? Comes with red heat sink, about $80, warranty by Corbell......

ssd get from lazada around $100 can get 250gb ssd...transcend ssd370

u need a better power supply for a 290x, and if possible get the Sapphire 290x tri x , better cooler

at least 650w , if budget will be Seasonic m12ii 620w, have more budget then Seasonic g650 or Superflower leadex 650w
