I have a new build I just put together. My questions are, is everything compatible? I chose the case I did because I want to have a huge side window in my case. I also need everything. Will get keyboard and mouse at walmart so I dont need that.

I will be gaming 99.9% of the time on this pc. Will it work together? any changes I should consider?

p.s I will be playing bf3 and thats it on this thing :)
