Hello

Do these parts fit in the Antec Eleven Hundred? And are they all compatible with each other?

Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LK

Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM

Processor: Intel i5 - 3570(Not K)

And what graphics card and power supply should I buy? This computer needs to be very fast and it will be mostly used for gaming but the parts cant be expensive because I have very limited budget.

What is your budget? What games do you play? And what monitor do you have?

If you can get the HD7850/7870 and pair with i5 then you are set. If you have tight budget and you check the "Best Graphics Cards For The Money" http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107.html

The PSU is the heart of the PC, get the good PSU is ~500W 80 plus like this. CORSAIR CX500M 500W ATX12V v2.3. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139050

I am building my first computer.

Not sure what my budget is yet but hopefully under $1000 ??

and also do you really think a 500w will power all of that?

I don't know what monitor I am getting yet? maybe one of the aoc's?

I will mostly play black ops 2 and skyrim

What about the Radeon HD 7790 for the graphics card? Do you think its good? and is it compatible with everything else.

But if I overclock I would have to buy a CPU cooler.

 
Yes, that 500W PSU can power all your PC.

HD7790 is the good one but not the great one. Here is some reviews.

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/HD_7790_DirectCU_II_OC/11.html

And I add the link for HD7850 and HD7790. From price point they have the small different, but I will recommend to pay $20 more to get the HD7850 if you are in USA.

yes you would have to buy a new cpu cooler if you were doing some extreme overclocking, but a mild oc the stock heat sink will do it just fine. As for a psu if you're going with a 7850 a good 500w psu with at least a 40A 12v rail will run everything you have just fine. A 600w 45A+ would be the way to go if you're going to do some mild overclocking either on your gpu or cpu that way it will be capable of running higher settings in games down the road. The amd card you chose is compatible.

he would only need a 2gb card if he's running multiple monitors or if he's going above 1080p, a 1gb would be able to run skyrim at 1080p with hi res texture pack with no issues.
