Hello guys,

I've been wanting (for ages) now to build a new gaming pc. But I am quite afraid if something would not fit together, or that some parts don't fit in the case or something like that.
In the future I might want to run Sli, and maybe add a soundcard (any advice on that too?)
Could anyone help me check compatibility on this parts and otherwise give advice on what to swap out or not?
Would it be worth it to rather take the Cooler Master Storm stryker?

Parts list:

    Case: NZXT Phantom 530
    SSD: Kingston Technology SSDNow V300 120GB
    dvd drive: Samsung SH-224DB
    CPU: Intel i5-4670K
    Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING
    Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 412S
    PSU: XFX 850W Black Edition
    RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB
    HDD: Seagate 2TB SATA HDD
    GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II OC


Kind regards,
-Ordinem Lars

Do NOT get the Kingston V300. Read this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7763/an-update-to-kingsto...

Crucial, Intel and Samsung all make very good SSDs. I'm partial toward Samsung because I have one. Great SSD!
