Building a gaming PC and was wondering if all these components should fit and work properly together. I'm also looking for suggestions or recommendations on the parts that I'm planning on getting, if there is anything better or cheaper that would be a suitable alternative to what I have listed.

Processor - intel core i7 3770k
Graphics - EVGA geforce gtx 670
Mobo - Gigabyte g1.sniper 3
Water cooler - Corsair hydro series h100i
RAM - 2x4GB geil evo leggara series 240 pin ddr3
Sdd - corsair force series gs 128gb
Hdd - WD blue wd10ezex 1tb 7200 rpm 64 mb cache
Case - Fractal design arc mini black
Power - Corsair HX series HX 650 650W 80 plus gold
Monitor - Dell ultrasharp u2312HM IPS - panel black 23"

also I have a recommendation for a wireless card but I'd like more input.
I was suggested the ASUS PCE-AC66 Next Generation AC dual Band wireless adapter IEEE up to 1750Mbps(450/1300Mbps) wireless data rates

Thank you

Lose the gimmick liquid cooler for a Noctua D14. For a gaming rig, you do not need an i7 so drop that to an i5-3570K and upgrade your GPU to a Radeon 7970 GHz edition. Stay away from the Corsair Force series - those are not good SSDs. Get an OCZ Vector or a Samsung 840 Pro. Also get different RAM - GEIL is not a well recommended manufacturer. Top tier brands are Crucial, Corsair, G.Skill, PNY, and Kingston (but 1.5V).

Also way too much money spent on the motherboard. Paying more for a product like that does not make a system future proof. It means you overpaid for a motherboard. Get a cheaper motherboard and put that money elsewhere.

I'm getting a super good deal on the i7 where I can get it for $250 which includes tax and shipping.

Any suggestions for a motherboard?

An Asus P8Z77-V LK Mobo is good. Get different RAM, stick with Corsair or a more well-known brand. Other than that, if you insist on getting the i7 you should be good. I would get a 3570K and use the money you saved on the GFX card, but whatever.
