Is everything compatible?
Are there any other cords I need to purchase or anything?
Is there anything obvious (or not) that I'm missing?
If I purchase all of these components could I build and use my computer?
I'm purchasing components tomorrow so I need help. Thanks a bunch!

ANY help appreciated!
 
If this is a gaming build (?), you should go with a 3570K and a Z77 motherboard so you can put more money into a bigger SSD (256gb) and a better graphics card, probably a 670. You should also probably bump up to a decent 650W PSU for more overhead if you decide to add a second 670 in the future, which you probably should.
You probably don't need a sound card.
 
The Radeon HD7950 I mentioned is around $300, it's the same price as the GTX660 Ti. The link I posted will explain all you need to know about the memory bandwidth ofthe GTX660 Ti.

On a side note, if you're looking to 3D model, do you plan to use GPU acceleration? If so, I would recommend taking a look at some last generation cards (If your program supports CUDA) or taking a look at Radeon HD7800/7900 series cards (if your program supports OpenCL). The new Kepler cards lack GREATLY in their OpenCL performance.

Also, as I mentioned in my earlier post, everything is compatible, however, I would highly recommend swapping out your current selected RAM for a 4x4GB kit of RAM. Two 8GB sticks will ultimately leave your rig running in Dual Channel mode instead of the Quad-Channel X79 is fully capable of.
