Hello, I honestly don't know which section to put this question.
Nevertheless, I was wondering if you can let me know if these parts I selected are compatible.
I've already checked the specs to make sure and I just want to double check from people who actually know what they're doing.
CASE: Corsair Obsidian 650D
PSU: Corsair Pro Series Gold AX1200 (Is 1200W too much? Should I downgrade to the 850W? I'm keeping upgrading my PC later down the road in mind.)
MOBO: Asus Sabertooth Z77
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770k
CPU COOLER: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 Dual Channel Kit (x2 for a total of 32GB)
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 680 SC Signature+ w/ Backplate
STORAGE: Crucial M4 2.5" 256GB SSD (Boot), Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB HHD
OPTICALD: Lite-on DVD writer
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is in the wrong section.

yeah, 1200w is way to much even for an sli/crossfire rig. downgrade to the 850
Your math on the ram is a bit off; two 8gb kits would total 16gb not 32.
Did you mean two 16 gb kits (2x8gb) ? Your better off getting a 32gb kit (4x8gb) as they should be a matched set and less likely to have compatibility issues that ram from different batches might have.

Regarding the PSU, I figured 1200W would be overkill, so I'll go with the 850, or less. I was just thinking that I might need more power in the future if I ever wanted to add a second GPU, etc.
As for the RAM, I realize now that I indeed was a bit off on the math.
The only 32GB kit (4 x 8GB) I could find on Newegg was Quad Channel and from what I hear, that's not compatible with a mobo that only supports dual channel.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Point me in the direction of the product I'm looking for?
EDIT: I think I found my product,

I'm assuming that this is what I should be buying.

Ah, I was wondering if that heatsink would fit. I guess I'll have to look for one that'll fit. Any suggestions?
I'm a bit hesitant to fool around with any liquid coolers.
I'm sorry that I didn't mention this before but I don't plan on overclocking.
Regarding the ram you've suggested, that's quad channel and my motherboard won't support it.

Well that's the thing- I am thinking of adding another GPU later down the road when I get more money. And when that time comes I might even be upgrading GPUs. I'm just considering future additions to the build without having to also buy a new PSU with more wattage.
I read online that a build will only take the power that it needs, so it doesn't matter if you have too much wattage. I mean, I've seen people with builds that have half the computing power of mine with 1050W PSUs.
By the way, I really appreciate you helping me with this.

GPU manufacturers' power supply "requirements" are always grossly over-stated to cover their own asses in case people blame the GPU for problems actually caused by their computer's crappy PSU. If every PSU was built to Seasonic/FSP Aurum/Silverstone/etc. 80+ Gold/Platinum specs and performance, "requirements" would be much lower.

Measured power consumption at the outlet.
