This is my FIRST build. I intend on using it for gaming. I have a couple questions:
1. are all the parts compatible
2. is there any money saving downgrades that don't effect the performance much ( i know i could get a 760 but i'll just stay with the 670)
3. are the parts good quality
4. any tips for a first time builder
5. How do the mail in rebates work
6. is the thermal compound with my cpu fan better than AC5
7. Should i go for more ram
8. do i need a 750w PSU
