Hey guys I found my configuration for a gaming pc, but before I buy it, are all these parts compatible with each other?

500gb ssd is quite large.

(one tip you can buy two ssds (for an example two 240gb) and use raid 0 on them (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID#RAID_0) which gives double the performance and it will show up as one 480gb disk in windows)

Anyway I personally have two 120gb ssds and I always have more then 100gb space but I pretty much always deletes game and redownload them later (which might not be an option for everyone)


I actually got that motherboard for one of my computers and I have had no problems with it
As for the cpu I would get the K version if you want to overclock it otherwise there is no need.

I would personally skip Windows 8 and buy windows 7 (but that is a personal preference) (I would go with nvidia 680/670 but that is also a personal preference)



Other then that everyone should work well.

I mirror many of the sentiments of the above. That SSD is huge and expensive. All you really need one for is your operating system and most frequently used programs at most...500GB is way more than you'd ever need for that. I'm also a NVidia fan but again that's just a preference. That being said, I much prefer Windows 8 for it's increased speed and additional features...and I don't mind the new start menu either. However last I checked you could pick it up for $80 straight from MS sacrificing only the box - wait no I checked it's gone way up in price since launch that is some bullshit right there but you can still get cheaper keys online. But yeah, everything looks good as far as compatibility.
