I am a new person when it comes to building a PC, and I'm not sure if all of my hardware is going to work correctly together. I really hope somebody can help me to make sure all my stuff will work. I will list all my specs of what I am wanting to use to build my PC below.

Case: Cooler Master Storm Enforcer
Motherboard: Asus P8P67 Pro LGA 1155
CPU: Intel i5-2500K LGA 1155
Power Supply: Corsair CX600
Graphics Card: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7850
Hard Drive: Western Digital Blue Cavair 1TB
OS: Windows 7 Professional
RAM: Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB)
Optical: LG Super-Multi 24x Internal DVD+-RW

Thank you for anybody who reads this and helps me out. It would be very much appreciated.

Looks great to me
Its a 2500k unlocked multi hence Get a Hyper 212 evo in future since you will want to overclock (future) the 2500k to 4.5GHz or so. If not oc now than stock cooler is fine.
Also you might want to consider a 2500 non k or 2400 with H67 mobo if not overclocking at all, which will save you money aswell. the p8p67 and 2500k is a overclocking combo realy. but ya all looks fine.
If you have corsair cx 600 than its...

Thank you for the very quick response. I am not really sure I will want to be doing any overclocking because I'm not too experienced with that and I won't be playing super high-end games. Also, I actually already have the CX600, will that be enough power to support my graphics card and everything else?

If you have corsair cx 600 than its fine and its already a overkill and you can do xfire 7850s with that.
Thanks


Edit:



Case realy is personal matter of choice but normaly get a case with front intake and rear exaust mid tower case, if theres fan to fit above case is even better but not essential, I always like coolermaster cases, just get the one you like, your present setup is OK even if you buy another WD in future, no worries.

Okay, awesome. I'm sure overclocking in the future will be a good idea just in case I did end up playing some games that require a little more. With concerns to the case, would you recommend a different one or is that a good choice? I will probably buy another WD Blue Cavair hard drive in the future, will i need all the extra expansion slots?
