Looking like a very nice build. The only critique would be to maybe get a little faster ram, like some 1866, and to get an aftermarket CPU cooler. Even if you don't plan to over clock right away, it is much easier to just install it now instead of trying to install it later down the road.

Nice choices.

You are all good to go. All parts you picked are compatible with each other.

That's a very nice build.

You can try going for this, which has the ability to SLI in the future.

tomthepotato, what makes that build you posted have the ability to sli?

Bigger power supply. 850w allows for SLI and some overclocking headroom. I also recommend, at least, a 23 inch monitor. I have a 21.5" and it's kinda small, imo. 24's the best option..
