Hello,
Im new to building computers and have been researching for a week or two, im unsure of what parts work together or if they come with all that is required. Operating system doesn't need to be included in this list. This will mainly be used for gaming (mostly WoW) and mild video watching/surfing. This is the build so far:
Case- Rosewill Challenger http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153
PowerSupply- Rosewill Green PS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182200
Mobo- ASrock z77 extreme4 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293
Ram- Free with above mobo
CPU- i5-3550(although ive considered 2500k) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116505&Tpk=3550k
GPU- HD 6950(also considered 7850) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102987
HD- OCZ Agility SSD (have a 1tb seagate for alternate storage) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227757
Optical Drive- Looking for a reccomendation.

I would appreciate if i could get some input on these parts and their compatibility/performance vs whatever else is out there for the money. Thanks in advance.

Get the 7850. It OCs better and uses less power while performing better even at stock. What are your uses? Budget? If you're only going to use one GPU, get the Antec NEO ECO 520W.
