Thanks nukemaster for telling me about this second thread...

Yes everything is compatible but there are a few things that you might want to change. First of all, you should definitely change your motherboard for the MSI Z87-G45 because Newegg currently has a combo deal with the i5 and MSI where you can save $80! I'd also suggest ditching the Cavier Black in favor of a cheaper and higher performance Seagate Barracuda. And finally, your SSD will not be large enough for this reason:

When you partition a 64gb drive for windows, you are left with 52gb. When you install windows 7 onto it, that will take up another 32gb. That will leave you with only 20gb. Keep in mind when an ssd nears 70% full, it begins to degrade, and performance will go steadily downhill. After installing 3-4 games (lets just say 4) @10gb each, your screwed!
So with that said you will need to get a larger SSD. I'd suggest maybe a Sandisk Ultra Plus because of its low price and high (128gb) capacity.

I hope this has helped you out...

I think because the OP is new, they do not know how to EDIT yet so make a new thread for each update.

Either way, If the OP is seeing this, please use the edit buttons to edit your threads and the your answer section at the bottom to add new posts within the thread.
