I'm totally new to building pc's but I put together a gaming PC. I just want to know if there are any compatibility issues or anything. What I've put together is:

CPU: intel core i5 3570 3.4GHz quad core.

Motherboard: As Rock Z77 extreme 6 ATX LGA1155.

Memory: Corsair Dominator GT 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866

Storage: Samsung 840 Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video card: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB

Case: Corsair Obsidian Series 800D ATX Full Tower Case

Power supply: Corsair RM 750W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V

Optical drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer

OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)

Peripherals:
Asus VS248H-P 24.0" Monitor
Corsair Vengeance K95 Wired Gaming Keyboard
Corsair Vengeance M65 Wired Laser Mouse

again I'm totally new just trying to see if this is any good and if it will actually work

JUDGEMENT:
Every thing is compatible!

ADVISE:
Replace the GTX 760 with R9-280X. R9-280X outperforms the GTX 760 under any load.

QUESTION:
What is your budget? Can we build you something better?

Your build will work together, I just feel that you are spending too much on a computer case when you could save 100-150 dollars and buy a better graphics card. BTW I am not saying your graphics card is bad, it is a good card on a budget.

Stock one should be enough although I think a CPU cooler would be good if you want your CPU to run at a lower temp.
