Ok, so im building a gaming pc from scratch. Im still very new to building pc's, as this is my first build. I just want to make sure that all my parts are compatible and that they will be good for gaming. Also, if anyone has any suggestions, that would be great. Thanks!

Great MoBo / CPU choice but save $90 and get the combo (assume US)

MoBo - $360 - ASUS Z87 Pro http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1352787
CPU - incl. w/ above - Intel Core i5-4670k Included w/ above and MoBo has built in wireless, $80 combo discount and $10 off w/ promo code Z87MB617, ends 6/30

SSD is wayyyy too small. If budget tight, get the Seagate hybrid SSD / HD (750 GB, 7200 rpm). Blue is intend ed for office usage, not high performance, ya want the black.

HD - $160 Caviar Black 2TB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136792
SSD - $250 - Samsung 840 Pro 256GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147193

The case you picked is great..... but almost HUGE. With today's efficient CPUs and GPUs tho I really don't see the need for such large cases. And given the huge discounts, Id suggest the Corsair 500R, which if ya look at the dimensions is not that much smaller than the 650D .... 500R has 10 gfan mounts and 8 expansion slots. As for the PSU, avoid the models with the M suffix, see jonnyguru reviews on the M versus the V2..... big difference.

Case - $150 - Corsair 500R White http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1327095
$45 MIR
PSU - incl. w/ above - Corsair TX750 included with above

No overclocking ? If so ... the Phanteks and Shin Etsu top the thermal charts, the cooler has 5 year warranty and great aesthetics ..... if budget limits choices, the Hyper 212

Cooler - $80 - Phanteks PH-TC14 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709011
TIM - $7 - Shin Etsu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835150080
