This is the motherboard: Asus Z87-Pro Motherboard

Please review this build for me. Is everything compatible? I'm about 100% sure it is. Are all the parts quality? This is my first build and I've been putting all this together for awhile - been waiting on Haswell. I plan on ordering parts today, so this is my final check. Kept it under $2,000 and should be great for video editing, Photoshop, and single screen gaming. Thank you!

But everything looks good? Excellent. Now I've never built a computer before, so are there any extra little fees or things I might have to buy that could pop up in the process? Or should I be all set once all these parts come in?

Well; it's not a final build because it's missing the motherboard. So I am assuming that you're still waiting. Also, you won't be able to game on modern games on all three monitors with that one card.

At the least, the Vapor-X card is cheaper.

The motherboard is listed underneath the PC Part Picker list - they just came out an hour or two ago so they're not quite put up on their site yet. It's the ASUS Z87 Pro.
