CPU-Intel core i5-3570k
GPU-Asus amd radeon 7970 hd
Motherboard-Asus sabertooth z77 motherboard
Memory-Corsair 8 gb vengeance DDR3
CPU COOLER - Noctua NH-D14 dual radiator CPU cooler
SSD- Samsung 256gb 830 SSD sata 6 2.5 inch
Storage - Western digital caviar green 2 tb hard drive
PSU-Pc power and cooling silencer mk11 950w

looks fine to me. great build. only a few concerns:
1. vengeance with huge heat spreaders? noctua is a pretty large cooler, I'd suggest to get ram with no extra fins (standard 30mm height is fine)
2. MK 2 is an older model, isn't there a newer MKIII at the same wattage? I'd expect it to be more efficient. But if it's more expensive, then forget it, MKII is still a fine PSU.
3. I'm lazy to check what comes with your case and I don't know which SSD package you're getting, but be mindful that you'll probably need a bracket for SSD to fit into 3.5" bay. So if neither comes with a bracket make sure to order one ahead of time instead of having to delay your build by 3-5 days just because of a $7 item.
