Are the parts compatible

[Xsqueezit]

Hello, I've been researching pc components for a month now, read a bunch of books and watched a bunch of tutorials and I think I should now order my parts, so I can build my very first computer, but I can't keep myself from worrying about compatibility. So could anyone tell me if all the parts i have chosen are compatible?

Here is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gnc0

Thank you for answering. If you love the build and it is compatible feel free to copy.

Wrong motherboard for your processor. Get a i7 3770 instead. Or a Z68 gen3 board.Whichever you prefer.
Halve the ram and drop the sound card(motherboard has audio,32gb is unnecessary),put the money in a gtx 670.
850w is unnecessary, 600w gold 80+ would do fine.

I'm a bit confused. How is the motherboard wrong for his processor? The sockets match.

@OP - What exactly will the PC be used for? 32gb of RAM is alot, but you probably have a reason for it.

^His processor is sandy bridge yet his motherboard is ivy bridge. To avoid loosing ivy bridge features, an ivy bridge processor would make most sense. Ivy bridge supports sandy bridge cpu's ,but not fully,and then,he's not getting his from his previous computer,the reason the backwards compatibility is there.

I see. Thanks for elaborating on that.
How does one identify whether the motherboard is for IB or SB?

Ivy bridge utilizes a Z77 series motherboard. Sandy bridge utilizes a Z68 series motherboard. No matter the manufacturer,those initials will always appear in the model number.
