So I recently saw this rather long, but extremely helpful video. The guy really does a good job at showing and teaching how to build a gaming PC for beginners like myself.
One of the things he suggested for rookies, was to purchase one of New Egg's super combos. After I immediately heard that I went onto New Egg for the first time and picked out this super combo, plus a few other items I think would work well with the build. It's in my cart waiting for me to check out.
The super combo included:
CPU - Intel Core I7-960 Bloomfield 3.2GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80601960
Power Supply - COOLER MASTER Silent Pro RS850-AMBAJ3-US 850W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.92 SLI Ready 80
Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Case - COOLER MASTER HAF 932 Advanced RC-932-KKN5-GP Black Steel ATX Full Tower Compucase Case with USB 3.0 and Black Interior
Memory - CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMP6GX3M3A1600C8
Hardrive - Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
CPU Fan - COOLER MASTER V8 RR-UV8-XBU1-GP 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler Intel Core i7 compatible
I also added a few other items:

Wireless Adapter - TRENDnet TEW-687GA Ethernet Port Wireless Gaming Adapter
Mouse and Keyboard - Microsoft Comfort Curve Desktop 2000 - OEM
Headset - Logitech G930 USB Connector Circumaural Wireless Gaming Headset

Does anyone see any problems with any of the items in the Super Combo or any of the stuff I picked out myself?
