Made a purchase on NCIX on the 25th, day of that online boxing sale. Haven't built a new computer in a long time.. Maybe about 5-6 years so quite out of the game with computers.
Any comments or suggestions on the parts I bought? I did a fair bit of research before purchasing, but just want to know what others think.
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 ATX LGA1155 Z68
Intel Core i7 2600K
OCZ Z-SERIES 1000W 80+ Gold
Powercolor Radeon HD 6970
Kingston HyperX 120GB SF-2281
Corsair Vengeance 16GB 4X4GB DDR3-1600
Came to ~$1400 with the case.

not sure about the OCZ PSU, from the research i did i pretty much went with a more expensive/lower watt corsair PSU than a higher watt other brand personally
Is it common to hear your hard drive kind of "start up" sometimes when directly accessing the content on that HD? all my OS etc. is installed on my SSD, but say I open explorer and explore the 1TB caviar black which is just storage, if its quiet in my room i can hear it kind of "start up" ?

however, you can minimaze those noise by buying shock absorbers that are like washers so they minimize the vibration from the hdd to the case

if its AGP you'll have the best luck in the buy&sell section on RS or craigslist

I've got a problem
when i press the power button on my new computer it will light up for 1 second the fans will start to move and then the comp immediately shuts off (it won't reach the point of beeping either)
any clues? everything is brand new....
going to try a different power supply but :/

one time i had the same problem. Did you mount the copper extensions onto the case before mounting the mobo (forgot what theyre called). Remounted it properly and it started up a-ok.
just googled it-- theyre called stand offs.

going to try a different power supply but :/ | You sure you have all the power cable plug into the motherboard? Check your board to see if you have a different ATX12v input "might be a four pin plug" located somewhere else on the motherboard. If it doesn't boot past post it usually mean is not getting enough power.

it doesnt even enter post i dont think
it immediately shuts off after the power button is pressed except for like a split second the fans will start to spin/leds on and boom stop literally 1sec or less
i tried 2 PSU
a Antec 650w 80plus bronze
and a 750w coolermaster 80plus
both with the same results
the mobo 
only 1 atx12v?
right now just waiting for my dad to hit the sack and ill try the cpu in his comp
