So, this is my first time building a computer and I'm a little nervous about it because of all the things that could go wrong. Anyways, this site seems like a lot of help. I've done lots of research, but just making sure.

Here's the parts that I have picked out and just wondering if there's anything else that I need to have picked out. Thanks.

Case: Rosewill Challenger w/ Three Fans
CPU: i5-3570k Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo)
GPU: ASUS GTX 660 Ti @ 967MHz
PSU: Corsair TX650w
Mem: G.Skill RipJaws X 8GB (2 x 4GB)
MoBo: MSI z77 w/ UEFI BIOS
CPU Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus 120mm Fan
HDD: Western Digital 500GB @ 7200RPM
SSD: SanDisk 64GB SATA III
DVD Drive: ASUS | 24X DVD Burner

So just let me know if I need anything else and I'm willing to upgrade anything if there's nothing that I need here and should upgrade something. A big question I have is that is it necessary for a SSD, or is it fine to be without one right now? Let me know.

Also, I'm probably going to be overclocking my GPU and CPU so let me know if that's possible with this system. Thanks.
