Hi everyone : )
As you may know I am hoping to build a fast gaming PC which will be able to play low and high demanding games smoothly as well as other taxing programmes. Are the following components compatible and if I can improve some areas or save some money I would be very grateful for your advice. I've decided to go for a 23'' monitor even though I was initially thinking of a 27'' - my sister recently bought a 27'' all-in-one iMac and I feel that the screen is much too big for my liking. I was also weighing the possibility of buying an AMD FX8350 but I think that I would like to go for the i5. Also, is the graphics card good enough, and is it necessary to include the SSD?
NZXT Phantom V2 Black Full Tower Gaming Case
23'' Dell UltraSharp U2312HM Widescreen IPS Monitor

2TB Seagate Barracuda ST2000DMO1 SATA III HDD
250GB Samsung 840 Series SATA-III

Asus Blu-Ray Internal Combo Drive
Asus Xonar Essence STX 24-Bit 192 KHz Sound Card

Thanks everybody (once again!) : )
