I'm relatively new to the PC Building world and using several hours of research, I have come up with this build sheet:

This is the case I plan to use:

Can someone who is experienced in PC Building tell me if I have everything correct as far as compatibility and if everything will fit and work?
Do you already have another hard drive?
Because if you intend to use it for gaming you'll chew through 128gb pretty quick

I dont. Any you can suggest that aren't too expensive?
It's going to be a few hundred buddy, I'd suggest getting a hard drive with that, and using the SSD for frequent applications and the operating system

More like 60$.
OP you selected an older generation CPU, the new generation is the: 4670K It is 10% faster, and uses way less energy for the same price.
Not to mention that it uses the new socket and 1155 is dead.
Combine it with a new mobo (MSI Z87 g45 for example).
Also 550 Watts is enough.
I reviewed my build sheet with a friend the builds PCs and we were able to make this: [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1AyMo[/url]
I hope this will work better initially.

Well, that stuff wont fit my budget since I'm at the limit. And I have a 750W because I might plan to do some upgrades in the future.

It's 20$ more.

And you cant upgrade because the 3570K uses a dead socket. (1155) While the 4670 uses the new 1150.
If you want good read/write speeds without paying the premium price of an SSD go for a SSD Hybrid.

The above example was just a quick search to show you can example, so I'm not saying to go for that one.

Hybrids only help with boot time really.
