Components compatible?

As per the title, are all these parts compatible?

I currently use a Coolermaster 550W PSU. I assume a new one would be the way to go but I would like to use the old one if I can.

You want a P67/Z68 motherboard to make the most out of the K CPU - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-036-OP&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1906 - includes a heatsink for free.

Rubbish PSU, try this - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-006-LA&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2057

Antec100 is cheaper, similar size - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-161-AN&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=160

Thanks for the reply. If I change the bits you recommended will it all be compatible then?

It wasn't not compatible before, it just had some poor choices.

For example the H67 motherboard wouldnt allow you to overlcock the multiplier unlocked "K" CPU.

The Antec300 has been around since the dawn of time and lacks a few things the 100 has, such as all black interior, a few cable management holes.

The PSU has been subject to a few bad reviews in its time.
