I'm building a computer for the first time, and I had a couple questions before I bought the components.
1. Are these components compatible with each other?
2. Will the graphics card and the other components fit in the case?
My set up is as follows:

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
