Yes you need thermal paste, I like ceramique. Non-conductive so you can use it on GPUs safely too if you ever need to in the future.
Power wise I always just took a rough mental guesstimate. Just don't buy a piece of shit that boasts FIVE MILLION WATTS while the actual hardware inside is made out of k-nex or some shit. Corsair is a nice go-to brand now.
A 5770 is fine for what you want to do, less even, really.
SSD's are fast for booting not because of their raw speeds but because of the access times.
Just get a retail CPU if you aren't going to overclock, OEM won't come with a heatsink. The stock AMD heatsink is easy as fuck to put on, a nice departure from fucking shitty Intel pushpin crap. I would at least TRY to overclock, but that's me, it's literally free performance, a potential lot of it.
Order of install doesn't really matter, just make sure you don't accidentally put something in your way and make it a pain the ass to cram your hand in later to connect something like the case wires. |
NO SWEARING! 
Anyway, your post was reported for swearing so just thought I'd clear this up.
@Reporters: this amount of swearing is perfectly fine, however something like "holy fuck shit dick my fucking piece of shit fucked up computer will no longer turn the fuck on, it's fucking broke" isn't all that cool.

Do not put an SSD in RAID, it eliminates TRIM support, which will kill the lifespan of the drive. In six months you'll be using two slightly faster, quiet, cool, HDDs.

pretty sure this is firmware dependent, not a inherent limit of the tech

It is, but currently no firmware supports it, except for some new Intel stuff(?)
| Quote: | | The problem is that once you put the drives into a raid array, the OS and even most of the hardware in your system only see one drive, that is really an emulation layer on top of two drives. Trim commands can be produced, but the raid controller has no clue what to do with them. The SSD's only have data written to them, but in raid 0, the whole file may not be on one drive. The files get stripped across the drives so that several write operations can occur at once. Since that data isn't associated at a specific point on a drive there's no way to trim that space when the file is erased. |
Also, found the link: http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2010/03/23/intel-releases-trim-for-raid/1
But of course, there's a catch:
| Quote: | | Available over on Intel's website – via TechConnect Magazine – the new Rapid Storage Technology driver allows users of selected Intel motherboards to enjoy the benefits of RAID without losing the benefits of TRIM support. |

I've killed two brand new video cards because of static. One of which I knew worked perfectly(had it in a computer for a few days, took it out to try an old video card), the other may or may not have been DOA.

| Unlucky with killing your GPU with static, I have never heard of anyone do that before - MOBO maybe but GPU, that's new, what did you do touch it everywhere or something? 0_o
