Asus Z87-Pro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Superclocked ACX Video Card
Case ???
Corsair Builder 750W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
Asus VS247H-P 23.6" Monitor

$1324.87 after rebate, before case.

Summer is here and the graduation goodies just rolled in, so I'm looking to build my first PC. It will be primarily for gaming coupled with minor video editing. I don't want to stress editing too much, anything I get will be better than what I have now. Id like to know:

1.) Do all the parts look good, anything I should change
2.) Case: looking to spend about $100 maybe $120 if there's a significant improvment. I was looking at the NZXT Lexa S and Phantom, I like the style, but am clueless about quality/ cable management/ fans. Would like a window. Don't want too sacrifice much function for form.
3.) I ran this list by a friend who has built 10+ machines and he said there might be compatibility issues with the PSU and the Video Card yes/ no?

Thanks!

This will be better. Switched the 250GB SSD to a 120GB and got a 1TB WD HDD as 250GB will fill up fast. Got a Corsair 500R as it is a brilliant case for the price. Also switched the CX700 to a Seasonic 620W as it will be more reliable compared to builder series Corsair PSU's

That is almost exactly what I was going to recommend. Go with what Aspire said.
