i am pretty new to pc building but im pretty sure this should be good and compatible but i would just like to double check

case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129180
antec three hundred two

hard drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236339
western digital blue 1 tb

motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157330
ASRock z77 extreme3 lga 1155 (i was thinking about the extreme 4 but i am seeing a lot of DOA reviews lately)

cpu: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Core-i7-2600K-3-4-GHz-Quad-Core-BX80623I72600K-Processor-/230865955067?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D2805769292451455006%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D230865955067%26
intel core i7-2600k sandy bridge. yes i am ordering this one on ebay (lower price and no tax, and yes sandy bridge not ivy)
also by the time you might click the link the auction might end so if it did it is only for 269 bucks and 5 dollars for shipping, i am almost certain there is no tax on this so i am saving a good 30 bucks by doing this on ebay instead on newegg.

memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231460
g.skill sniper series 8 gb (2 x 4GB)

graphics card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130625
evga geforce gtx 550 Ti 1 gb (if not this i am looking at a radeon 7770 but i am planning on doing an sli setup and ive heard sli for the 550 ti results are tremendous)

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152035
raidmax 630W sli/crossfire ready modular power supply (i am not worried that this is not 80+ certified, but i am worried about running sli with the gtx 550 ti. i dont know much about the 12v power rails but would that be enough amperage to run the two cards?)

accessories:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835209049
antec kuhler h20 620 liquid cooling system

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103052

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812189063
link depot 3 pin fan power Y cable (i may not need but it will be handy if i do need it or if it will help with cable managment.

i will also be getting 2 fan filters to completely filter any intake depending on my setting, i could not provide a link since i can only put in 10 links into this question.

any tips or fixes will be greatly appreciated

Yes, it is all compatible for sure. I will hold my tongue on the sandybridge/z77 combo. I've built PCs with ASrock extreme3 Z77 and they are rock solid, so I'd stick with that (haven't tested an extreme 4 yet), the last Asrock I built was paired w/3570k and 670GTX, it was nearly as fast as a 2600k w/GTX680 in 3dmark11 that I built. But I would stay away from the 550ti. It's last gen, by the time you SLI it, your video card may be a couple of generations behind, however if you're ok with that, try to find a 560SE on sale. But really I'm hesitant to go "old" a 7770 is good on power and scales well on crossfire, better yet, you can get a GTX 650 for around the same price and it is good on power due to so you can SLI it with the PSU you mentioned plus you'll have pcie3 to future proof things a bit, considering you upgrade your CPU as well.



For the price of that hard drive, you can get a 120gb vertex4 SSD on newegg. I'd choose that instead because it will make a huge difference in overall performance of your system (i.e. startup, running programs, loading games etc). Plus if you load windows on a hard drive and later decide to get SSD, you'll have to reinstall windows if you want it on your SSD (which you would, that's the point of having an SSD). If you get an SSD first, you won't have to worry about that, later down the line when you add in a mechanical drive.



Just my 2 cents but ultimately your decision/wallet.

the only compatibility issues you rather might bump into is would desire to you attempt to establish new supplies alongside with previous ones. Your motherboard will require a definite processor, (socket 478 and others) be sure your processor is appropriate with the motherboard. i'm no longer specific approximately your power grant, too a lot can fry your motherboard and distinctive peripherals while you're no longer careful. So, study your motherboard's instruction manual and be sure it is the nicely suited wattage. you will desire to verify your motherboard's manuals to be sure it is appropriate with the memory, maximum motherboards are maximum effective nicely matched with a optimal of 2GB, purely some are in a position to have extra beneficial than that... regardless of if the motherboard has slots for 4, it can not be nicely matched. i might follow 2GB for now. followers, all will would desire to be completely useful and don't choose a situation in any gadget. Your greatest subject concerns often is the memory and the Processor being suitable with the motherboard. it is going to would desire to all artwork, even though there is in any respect circumstances a probability regardless of wont artwork. I even have progressed 5+ computers out of historic spare aspects, and so that they worked passable.
