I am about to order parts for my new PC. This is my second attempt at piecing together parts and think it is a better value than my previous build. Could somebody please go over this build and make sure it is all compatible? As far as I can tell it is compatible, but as I am new to building PCs would like someone else's opinion. For a hard drive I am going to run just an 120gb SSD for now and add an HDD later on if I need it. Is this OK to do? I already have a DVD drive so i don't need one. Any other building suggestions would also be great. Thank you for any help.

I think that is everything I need. Please let me know if I am missing any components. Already have all peripherals (keyboard, mouse monitor). I am not too worried about the price, just trying to stay under $1100.

Everything looks fine. It all should play nice together. Yes, you can just use the SSD for now. You'll just be limited to the 120GB.
Btw, use this guide when installing the OS to the SSD. I presume you will be using Win7x64 and not (ugh) Win8.

If you forget and install it w/o using the guide, follow this guide to re-coup some of the performance back: http://www.computing.net/howtos/show/solid-state-drive-ssd-tweaks-for-windows-7/552.html
