Hey everyone, first post here though I always love the great advice from the community.
I haven't built a system in ages and my old one is beyond the point of patchwork upgrading so it's time for a full build!
Basically I'm posting to see if there are any compatibility issues or anything that you guys see. I'm also a LITTLE worried about making sure everything fits in the case I chose.
Found good pricing already on newegg, so I really just need to know if any of this is going to be a "bad" choice, for whatever reason.
Primary USE is going to be gaming and MS Office Pro for work. Currently I'm using a 720p LG 22LE5300 TV as my monitor. I'm hoping with this rig I'll be able to run upcoming AAA titles like Shogun 2 or Elder Scrolls V without having to turn the graphics down, as well as current titles with the graphics up high.

Will be running Win 7 home premium also, and I went with the 955 because I read that its excellent for mild overclocking, thus saving money versus a 965 or 970 without a performance hit. I don't have any fancy cooling solutions planned as of now, though.
Thanks for any input!
