Hi.
I'm a noob here and just wanted to ask for some advice on a first build idea.
Basic components are the following:
GPU - SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7870 GHz
CPU - Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz
MoBo - ASRock Z68 Extreme7 Gen3

Cooling - CORSAIR H100 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
SSD - SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC256D/AM 2.5" 256GB
Drive - LITE-ON Blu-ray Burner iHBS212-08
PSU - CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX1200
Case - COOLER MASTER COSMOS II
Approximate Purchase Date: (A month)
Budget Range: ($1600 - 2000) Before / After Rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: (Gaming, home studio, surfing the internet, watching movies)
Parts Not Required: (keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: (newegg.com)
Country: (Puerto Rico)
Parts Preferences: by brand or type (Intel CPU, AMD GPU)
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Yes, later

Additional Comments: (I would like a quiet PC, cool performance, Skyrim gameplay, planning on getting a GPU for crossfire in the future and a 1TB Hard Drive)
Hope you can tell me if this system can be assembled properly and if it will handle the gaming and home recording. Thank you.
