I'm new to building computers, and I'm going to try to build a PC(Gaming desktop), and I was wondering if all of these parts would work together, and make a good gaming computer. Here's the build:
Motherboard: Gigabyte LGA 1150 Intel Z87
CPU: Intel Core i5-4570
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclock
SSD: Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5-Inch
PSU: Corsair CX Series 500 Watt CX500M
Memory/Ram: Corsair Vengeance Blue 8 GB (2X4 GB) PC3-12800 1600mHz DDR3 240-Pin SDRAM Dual Channel
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit
Monitor: ASUS VS207T-P 20-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor
Case: Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced - Mini-ITX.

That all looks very nice actually. That CPU is not overclockable if that is something you would interested in doing in the future. For a little bit more you can get the core i5 4670K which is overclockable. All processors by Intel that have a K at the end of them mean they can be overclocked.

The one thing you need to change is your case. It is a mini-ITX. Normal cases are mid-ATX. Unless you are trying to build a small rig then you are spot on. You have to make sure that your motherboard is also mini-ITX. I can't tell without knowing which exact motherboard you are using. What you have listed is the manufacturer (Gigabyte), the socket (LGA 1150), and the chipset (z87) I believe.

Thanks for the info! I might be interested with overclocking in the future, but I'm pretty happy with the CPU as it is. Sorry bout the motherboard info, maybe this is better: "Mini ITX DDR3 1600 Intel Motherboards GA-Z87N-WIFI" it says Mini ITX, does that mean the case will work?

Yes it will work. I had meant to say that the CPU is not overclockable. Only CPU's by Intel that have a K at the end of them can be overclocked. The mini ITX is just a small computer. I personally like Mid-ATX towers.
