Will This Gaming PC Configuration Work?

Hey guys,

I am building a new computer and am wanting to know if all of the parts that I have selected will be compatible with each other and will work well for gaming.

The parts that I have selected are;
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=23494
Motherboard: ASUS B85M-G
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=23640
Memory: G.Skill Sniper F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=23688
GPU: MSI Radeon HD7950 3GB Twin Frozr III Boost Edition
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=22854
PSU: Thermaltake Litepower 600W
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=12768
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=19554
SSD: Fujitsu S306 64GB SSD
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=23191
Network Adaptor: ASUS PCE-N15 Wireless N PCIe Adaptor
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=18067
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit with SP1 OEM
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=17003
Case: BitFenix Ronin Black Mid Tower Case
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=23686

The total price of this build is $1271AUD, which is right around the top of my budget.

I am not interested in overclocking but I will do it if need be.

Is this build compatible and will it be a good gaming rig?

Thanks, Cody

yes it will work, but there are some parts you can improve

PSU: Thermaltake Litepower 600W
for psu, i get from corsair or XFX brand

SSD: Fujitsu S306 64GB SSD
believe me, 64gb ssd will not enough as OS partition will grow with update, cache, and GAME
128GB is minimum, get anything cheap from Intel or Samsung

Haswell is aimed at powersaving so I recommend going for an ivy-bridge build for gaming, you'll save about $50-100 which you could spend on a high powered cooler, then if you decide to overclock you'll be able to reach the max performance.
