Hello everyone. This is my first experience with building a computer and I did my best to get compatible parts but I would really like some feedback.

Is this computer compatible and competent for gaming? It will be used almost exclusively for gaming as well, no multimedia or even internet browsing at all.

CPU Cooler: SilenX EFZ-92HA2 54.0 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing
Motherboard: MSI 760GM-E51 (FX) Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Storage: Kingston SSDNow V200 Series 64GB 2.5" SSD
Toshiba 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM
Video Card : XFX Radeon HD 7870 2GB
Case: Thermaltake Commander MS/I Snow Edition (White/Black) ATX Mid Tower
Case Fan: Rosewill Hyperborea 57.5 CFM 120mm

Yes, all but the PSU. It is not known for being the most well made. I would suggest spending a tiny bit more and going with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094

Your specs above should provide good gaming at 1920x1080 using max to high settings in most of today's games.

Btw, when you get ready to install Win7 on your SSD use this guide to avoid pitfalls and mistakes when dealing with a SSD. There are a few peculiarities not associated with HDDs.
