Hey all. I'm putting together my very first pc, never put one together, never upgraded one, haven't even owned a desktop in over a decade.
full list of parts:
(here is the full list of parts I will be ordering. All of them are from newegg, because I'm getting reimbursed for the parts and want them all from the same source).

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125413 - Graphics card - Radeon HD 7970
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139029 - Power supply - Corsair 850W

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293 - Motherboard - ASRock intel LGA 1155
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504 - CPU - Intel LGA 1155, quad core 3.4ghz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099 - CPU fan - Cooler Master
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136252 - LG DVD-ROM (blu-ray combo thingie)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227792 - Solid State Drive - OCZ Vertex 4 256gb
A couple questions for ya'll,
1. Will all of these parts work together? My nightmare is getting all of this stuff and finding out some of the parts are incompatible somehow.
2. I came out 300 dollars under budget. Where is my 'bottleneck,' which part should I upgrade to get the most bang for my buck
3. Will I be ok with this solid state drive without an additional hard drive? Should I get a bigger ssd?
4. I was planning on not overclocking (will probably be at least 3 years before I can make any upgrades). should I get a water cooling system anyways?
5. Lastly, if anyone could let me know what tools and other supplies I should get for putting this together, I would greatly appreciate it. This is my first time putting together a pc, and I'm a bit nervous.
This pc will be used primarily for gaming, and drawing with a tablet.
