At a quick glance everything seems to be compatible however I see some parts which probably aren't the best you could of chosen. If you're using the PC just for gaming. That CPU may be un-needed, you'd be fine with the i5 3570k or even the i5 2500k which is a great CPU. The motherboard although it looks all nice and pretty is also probably not needed and you could pick up a cheaper motherboard which would be good for you. I could go on to doubt nearly all the parts. However I'm not even sure what you're going to use it for. But the most important thing is that you say your'e going to build this computer this summer? It seems you're not yet sure when. The best thing you could do is when you know you're ready to buy the parts pretty much straight away go and post on the Custom PC topic, its a stickied post by r00t_b33r. Make sure you read through the OP. You will need to post your budget and what you're going to use the PC for. You should chose your components as late as possible as there is always special offers and stuff like that which can save you money. The people running the post will give you an almost immediate response and you will be ready to buy!

This is exactly what I was going to say. The i5 2500k was named the best gaming cpu a while ago and it still is so i recommend going with the cheaper(but also good) parts.

It helps a lot to know what you're going to be using the system for, it's impossible to suggest any changes without any sort of background. This is exactly why I included the form here:

Forums/t=3809045/the-custom-pc-topic.html

- Processor: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor

Overkill and unneeded for most users and have no distinctive advantage over an i3-2100 / 2500k.

- Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS V FORMULA/THUNDERFX Intel Z77 Socket 1155 DDR3 PCI-Express Motherboard

Overpriced and overly big. Again, unneeded for the majority of people, especially when there is a MSI Z77 G45 / ASRock Extreme4 which are both half the price and still offer fantastic features which is more than you'd ever need.

- Power Supply: 850W Cooler Master Silent Pro Hybrid

Overkill and I doubt it actually outputs what it says. I wouldn't pick it over the Corsair AX, XfX, or a Seasonic to name a few which are far more reputable and reliable.

- Memory: Corsair Vengeance Blue LP 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual/Quad Channel Kit (CML16GX3M4A1600C9B)

Making purchases off of pure aesthetics and not performance. It's doubtful that you'd ever run over an 8GB cap, never mind 16gb's unless you're running some 3D animation software. Plus, those heatsinks are useless, look cheesy, and only get in the way of heatsinks like the ever so popular Hyper 212 / NH-D14.

- Hard Drive: 1.5TB Western Digital WD15EARX Caviar Green 3.5" SATA III Hard Drive

Slow and they just got replaced by WD Red drives which are enterprise server grade drives that are much more reliable. Never use a 5000rpm drive as a boot drive since everything will be terribly slow. With your budget, you'd be able to get a high capacity Plextor M3, Samsung 830, Crucial M4, or an Intel 510 series SSD as a boot drive.

Case: Corsair Obsidian 650D Black Midi Tower Windowed Chassis w/ USB3.0

Look are completely subjective but build quality is not. There are soooo many better cases out there in that price range like the HAFX-M, Corsair 400r/500r, NZXT 810, Fractal R4, etc.

Basically scrap the build and do it over this time. You're spending way too much money on components that are overkill and not placing enough money on 'X' area.
