A bit lengthy one. Please check my build for compatibility.

So, a couple months ago, I randomly decided to build a new computer to replace my 2001 bought HP desktop that would be used only for gaming (along with recording, editing, streaming, and uploading videos). At the time I didn't even know what a hard drive was. So I did a butt-load of research and I think I've learned pretty much everything I need to know. But I'm not completely sure everything I've picked out is compatible with each other.

Case:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811148062

Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504

RAM: Team Elite 8GB (2x4)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313086

SSD: OCZ Vector 128GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227915

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148844

GPU: SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 7950
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202003

Main monitor: ASUS VG248QE
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236313R

Touch screen monitor: ViewSonic TD2220
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824116588

Webcam monitor: ASUS VK228H-CSM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236289


Is this a good build? Are these all good enough for gaming? Can that graphics card handle those 3 monitors? Should I bump it up to a 7970?

And this isn't important, but I'm getting a CM Storm Trigger keyboard and a Logitech G9x mouse.

Dont trust a power supply that comes with a case like that. you will have to buy a different power supply for this system.

I would grab this SSD cheaper, and dependable http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147192

You should get a little higher clocked RAM 1600 Mhz, instead of 1333 Mhz

As for a power supply get something built with quality 500 watts+ Corsair / XFX/ Seasonic / Antec 80 Plus certified.

Also, depends what resolution you are playing at. and what games. For Eyefinity setups, you're always better off with a CF setup to play every game at high settings smoothly, so pick up the HD 7950 and CF it later.

You would definitely get better performance out of the 7970. But it is quite a bit more expensive.
