I've been using my PC since it was purchased in 2003 and have been stagnating since around 2007 in PC technology.

If all goes to plan, I will be building a new PC soon (praises significant deity) and would like to ask you guys if the following components are all compatible or if I have overlooked anything.

By build will primarily be for PC gaming with some sound editing and maybe the occasional video edit.

My budget is maxed out at 1300 euros.

Motherboard: MBLGA 1155 Z77 ASROCK EXTREME
CPU: i5 3570k
Storage: 1xSSD Kingston Hyper X 3k 120GB
1x Seagate Barricuda 2TB 7200rpm
Memory: 2x4GB 2400Mhz Kingston Hyper X Beast DDR3
Video Card: Radeon 7870 2GB 256bit
RAIDMAX COBRA gaming case
Power supply: 600W LC Power LC600H-12
1x 120mmx120mm Fan
Xigmatek Gaia SD1283 CPU Heat Sink
Optical Drive: LG Blu Ray BH10LS30 Rewriter
Monitor: BenQ 24" QGL2450 LED

It's mostly a budget issue, I will look into getting one of those brands. What would be the setback of having a cheaper power supply, does it run the possibility of shorting out and causing damage or does it just perform badly?
