System Check/Compatibility.

[Gazbirt]

I've been putting this list together for a little over 2 weeks now, and to the best of my knowledge, all of it is compatible, but I really want to have others look at it to make sure it is.

CPU: Intel Core i7 3770K Quad Core
Heatsink/Fan: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212
MB: ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77
GPU: EVGA GTX 690
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance LP 32GB (Model: CML32GX3M4A1600C10)
PSU: COOLER MASTER Silent Pro Gold Series RSC00-80GAD3-US 1200W ATX
HDD: Western Digital WD Black WD2002FAEX (I will be getting two of these for a total of 4TB)
SSD: Crucial M4 CT064M4SSD2
Case: COOLER MASTER COSMOS II
Wi-Fi: ASUS PCE-N15 PCI Express

Yes, it's all compatible. For the system as configured, the power supply is overkill and depending on usage, I would question the quantity of RAM you have listed.

Looks compatible to me. Yeah, you won't need a 1200w psu for the parts you have listed. Otherwise you have some nice parts choices there.

Get Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate for that PC, or Windows 8. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit is limited to 16 GB of RAM.

Aevm, I know of the limits, but thanks for warning me. I plan on investing in another GTX 690 later on, that's why I have overkill for the PSU. The ram....Well, I don't really have anything to say for that.

Even with two GTX690s the 1200 watt PSU is still overkill. A solid 850 watt PSU is more than enough for any SLI system.

Since you're talking about SLI of two GTX 690s, I'll assume the main usage of the system is gaming. No need to go with so much RAM. 8GB is more than enough for a gaming system. 16GB is almost certainly a waste and 32GB is definitely a waste for a gaming system.
