Final Draft For Gaming Build Help

Last response: in Systems

I am getting ready to order the following parts for an intro gaming rig:

CPU-Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core
CPU Cooler- Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing
Motherboard- ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155
Memory- G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333
Storage- Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Storage- Mushkin Callisto Deluxe 120GB 2.5" SSD
Video Card - MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB
Case-Cooler Master CM 690 II (Black) ATX Mid Tower
Power Supply- XFX 550W ATX12V / EPS12V
Optical Drive- Sony AD-7280S-0B DVD/CD Writer

Any last minute suggestions or compatibility issues I should be aware of? Also this will be my first build so any suggestions would be appreciated (I have watched the new egg tutorials on Youtube).

Have you thought of swapping out the 660 ti for a Radeon 7950 3GB, I have used both of these cards before and prefer the 7950, with a mild overclock this card can be amazing, I believe it is worth the little bit of extra money if you can afford it. I have also experienced bad luck with MSI but according to my friends thats just me.
