I don't know much about computers, but I've done some research and assembled what I would like to build. What I would love advice on is: do these various hardware selections work well together? I don't want to accidentally end up with a video card way more powerful than my CPU, for example.
This is a gaming computer, not for a whole lot else.
So, what I've got
Case: corsair obsidian 800d
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139001
Power: corsair AX1200 1200 watt is this is overkill on power?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139014&Tpk=ax1200
Mobo: Asus maximus IV extreme-z LGA 1155 intel Z68 If i'm only gaming, do i need the Z68 chipset over a P67 or H67? Will that even be relevant?

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500k Seems like there's not a real big gain for the price point with the i7s
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072
Graphics: Radeon HD 6950 2gb, 840 MHz

RAM: Geil Evo Two 16gb DDR3

Post-product heatsink: corsair H70 liquid CPU cooling
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181019
Harddrive: 120gb SATAIII SSD Seems like one of the more reliable SSD's on the market. I'll throw in a
couple more regular drives, but just this one to run on.

Monitor: 23.6" 2ms 120 hz HDMI I would really like a 27" or 30", but i also want the 120 hz refresh and 2ms, which skyrocket the price of a larger monitor. Also, I'd like to keep everything looking as great as possible, and it looks like it takes a LOT more graphic card power to stay about 60 fps and looking good in games with the bigger monitors. What are people's thoughts on this?
