Is there any compatibility issues with this build? This is my first build EVER, so please give me some slack (: Also, should I be getting something cheaper than what I have now? (Ex. Is the PSU too overkill?)

Thanks for the help!

From what I have read, people seem to say (depending on budget, which is?) to get the I5 3570K, is this for gaming (what games?), I to have a build im looking to get advice on. I also think if you do not plan to SLI (2 video cards) then you PSU seems to be a bit overkill, maybe 600 or 650W...

Well I'd definently say your on track....again its pretty much just budget, looks like this is about $1100-1200 (guessing), if your in your budget then I'd say go with this, but maybe someone with more experience will respond with a bit more experience

Look's alright, but I would save $100 bucks on the CPU, by getting the i5 3570k, and sink it into the GTX 670 instead of the 570. It will last longer, and have better performance in games. The PSU is overkill for one GPU, but down the track you may find that you want to SLI, or overclock, and the wattage will be good then.
