Hi everyone, I decided to build a new gaming pc and chose to order every part from newegg. I thought I would post my specs here and ask you guys for 2 things. First of, are all the pieces compatible (will they work well with each other). And secondly, do you guys have any suggestion on how I could upgrade the system without increasing too much the cost (not more then a couple hundreds). Btw, this pc will be used mainly for gaming.
So here are the specs:
Case: Antec Nine Hundred Two V3 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case

PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX850 V2 850W ATX12V v2.31/ EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply
Liquid Cooling: I want one but have no idea which one to choose (Ideally under 100$)
SSD (primary hard drive): Corsair Performance 3 Series CSSD-P3128GB2-BRKT 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive

Meter display: NZXT Sentry-2 5.25" Touch Screen fan controller
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card - OEM
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade (it says upgrade, does this mean I need to have vista already installed on my pc, which is not the case)
Thank you everyone
PS: All those part go for 1750$ on Newegg (shipping included).
