Hi, I'm new to making my own gaming PC.
I was wondering if these parts were compatible
if you had any suggestions to make it better/cheaper
if i should get a CPU cooler
And what type of power supply to get

CPU- Intel i5 3570K
Motherboard- ASRock Z77 Extreme4
GPU- Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti
RAM- Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
HDD- Western Digital Blue 1 TB 7200RPM
Case- CM Storm Stryker

I hope you are aware that that processor uses the older LGA 1155 socket and not the newer LGA 1150 socket. If you're getting a good deal it is still a good processor, but not the newest generation.

PSU's should be anything made by Seasonic, XFX, Corsair or EVGA. I would recommend 600W+ for this particular system.

I did not know about the LGA 1155 & 1150, so thank you for bringing that up. I looked into it and the i5 3570k I was going to get was for $230, but I found the i5-4570 which is worth $197. Which one do you suggest I go for?

The 4570 is incapable of overclocking, so make sure you're aware of that before you make your purchase. The 4670k is around the same price, but is capable of overclocking.

Thank you for helping me and I think I will go with the 4670k.

Glad to help. Great choice. Make sure you get a compatible Z97 motherboard or better, cheaper motherboards (such as H81 chipsets) are incapable of overclocking.
