Looking for advice on my new build

[Matt McQ]

Hello, I am rather new to the forum and this is the first computer I am building. I would just like to start out by saying that up to this point so far, the Tom's Hardware community has been a huge help to me and I would like to thank you all. The experience and opinions of more advanced users would be much appreciated. I have chosen my parts already and would just like to make sure there are not any bottleneck or compatibility issues. Also, I do not plan on overclocking my CPU. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations regarding things I should change or just any knowledge or advice in general. Thank you in advance.

What's your budget? Do you have a monitor (if so, what resolution?)

I can already pick out some flaws such as the VelociRaptor and Z77 motherboard.

I can already pick out some flaws such as the VelociRaptor and Z77 motherboard.

My budget as of right now is roughly $1,200, but subject to change if necessary, and this is the monitor I intended on buying (excluded from the $1,200 budget):

If you have any recommendations though I would love to hear them. Sorry I took so long to reply, I didn't expect such a quick reply to my post. Thank you
