Building $1600 gaming pc first time help!
Last response: in Systems
Hello I have carefully selected the following parts for my computer
Asus P8Z68-V LX
Intel Sandybridge i7-2600K
Asus 1GB GeForce GTX 560TI
Asus TA-K51
8GB (2x4gb) G.Skill 1600mhz ripjawx
Corsair 60gb ssd to have windows 7 installed on to get fast boot times
Samsung SpinPoint F4 320gb for bulk of storage
Corsair gs 700
Sharkoon 1000 Silent Eagle x2 one on front of case and one on the back
Sony 24x Internal DVD Rewriter
My question is are all these parts compatible? Will 700 Watts be enough? Will there be enough cooling? Will there be a bottle neck? Finally are there any parts that are bad or bad value and should be changed?
Thanks

That looks pretty good. A couple of suggestions:
1. Drop the CPU to the 2500K and invest the difference in upgrading your GPU to a Radeon 7870:

2. Substitute this for your primary HD - the Force 3 isn't the best choice due to the problems the Sandforce controller Corsair uses. Try this instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
3. The extra case fans are pretty much a waste - put that money you'd be spending on the fans to upgrading your case to the Corsair Carbide 400R: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
4. The Corsair GS is not the best choice because of the OEM used - get this instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
