$2000 Gaming Comp. Seeking advice on parts/compatibility

[browniees]

Hi! I came up with this list on newegg so far for a new gaming comp Im building. I havent built a computer by myself before so Im not sure on the compatibility of everything. My budget is $2000, but I have no problem going over a little.

Heres what I have so far:
Monitor: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236049
Hard Drive: 2x http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136283 to run in raid 0
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231358
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131666
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021
Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115070
Video Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130593
CD Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151232
Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371031
Speakers: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121016

Keyboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126100

My concerns are compatibility and if everything will fit. I also dont know if I have any piece thats not up to the par with the others that will hold my comp back. Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

What will be the main use of the computer?
You can save $100 with a i5-2500k and have just as good performance.
You can take the $100 saved from the cpu change and get a GTX 580.
Power supply could be higher , 750w.
The motherboard can be a little less expensive , there is no need for a $275 MB. and it's the wrong model for the cpu that you chose the MB is a 1366 socket and the cpu is a 1155 socket.

The Antec Earthwatts 750W PSU is only $88 and $7 less than the Corsair 650W PSU, so definitely get it.

Please....Please list component names......think about how many peeps ya giving RSI with the clickety clicking

-Suggest 120MHz monitor Asus VG236HE

-RAID is a waste of effort on a gaming box , always has been
HD - $ 240 - Barracuda XT 2TB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148506


-1366 ain't a gaming build, it's a workstation build
MoBo - $ 210 - ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131790
CPU - $ 210 - Intel Core i7-2500K http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115070
RAM - $ 49 - (2 x 4GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 (White) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233199

-Case is a little small if ya gonna upgrade to SLI and ill be doing heavy OC'ing. At least move up to the4 902 V3
$115 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129097

Other choices are Antec 1200 V3, ANtec DF-85 (Both $135) and Corsair 500R ($130)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=100006644&isNodeId=1&Description=500R&x=0&y=0

For $340, the 570 costs ya $0.65 per frame with 526 fps as a single card (Guru3D Game Test Suite) and $0.78 to get those 873 fps in SLI. For $230, the 900 Mhz 560 Ti costs ya $0.43 per frame with 495 fps as a single card (Guru3D Game Test Suite) and $0.50 to get those 862 fps in SLI. I'll give up 11 fps, to put $320 back in my pocket. Yes the 570 can be OC'd too but it has VRM issues (google "fried 570") and these 560's have OC ceilings as high as 30% ... they took this one from 900 to 1070

-Here's another optical to look at
DVD Writer - $ 58 - Asus Model BC-12B1ST/BLK/B/AS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135247

-I have 4 Neo's in my junk draw. If ya go with the 1200 or DF-85 cases from above the CP-850 is a no brainer .... extremely cool running and quiet....not to mention cheap at $115 ..... in giving it a 10.0 performance rating, jonnyguru said it would cost ya twice as much to get something comparable.....and it works with the aforementioned cases in away that was termed "unfair competition" by silentpcreview.com

For the other cases, would suggests the Corsair HX850 (10.0) or XFX Core 850 at $90
