Hi, this is my first time building a computer and because of this I want to ensure that all the components I'm going to buy are compatible, because of this it would be much appreciated if someone would mind checking this for me. It seems fine to me but I'd rather be sure before spending. The parts are as follows:

Asus GeForce GTX 660 Graphics card
