Question on recent parts I just purchased for my custom PC

[Pete Jones]

Hey guys, found this website not too long ago and I had a couple of quesitons about the parts I have already ordered and should be delivered soon.
I have been to different forums and some say my parts are compatiable and some have said they weren't. So I just wanted to post on here and see if you guys could tell me if my PC is going to work or not.

Case: SilverStone RV02W-EW (White)
CPU: i7 Intel 2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4ghz
Motherboard: Haven't found one for sell to fit the LGA 1155, so I am currently waiting, planning on purchasing the Sabertooth P67
Ram: Corsair Dominator 16GB (4x4GB)
SSD: Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB Sata III
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"
Video Card: ASUS ENGTX580/2DI/1536MD5 GeForce GTX 580
Power Supply: SILVERSTONE OP1000-E 1000W
Blu-Ray Burner: LG WH10LS30 10X Blu-ray Burner
Water Cooler: ThermalTake Big Water 760i Liquid Cooling System Kit

I have no previous experience in building computers and this will be my first project, any advice and input is welcome.

Here is a Step-by-Step Guide to Building a PC
Look over the forum's "System won't boot" checklist to see some of the common build errors and how to avoid them.
-> The usual advice; read the manual / install guide; look at the parts, read the manual again and if everything makes sense and looks right - then go ahead with the install.

While you're waiting you can download the online version of the motherboard manual and start getting familiar with it.

ThermalTake Big Water 760i kit
Thermaltake website shows 760i kit compatible with AMD AM2 series / AMD K8 series / Intel LGA775 Intel P4 and not the 1155 system you're getting.

Everything else you've already purchased should work OK together once you find that Sabertooth P67 motherboard

Thanks, very much appreciated, I will return the kit and find something that will work!

I will also take a look at the link you posted.

For SandyBridge, watercooling shouldn't be necessary. Cooler Master 212 is plenty for an i7-2600k.
