Hi

This is my first build ever, would like to make sure everything is compatible.
I have finally decided on my system:

  • Intel Core i7-2600K 3.40GHz LGA1155 8MB
  • Asus MAXIMUS IV EXTREME-Z S1155 Intel Z68 DDR3 mATX
  • Corsair Memory 8GB (2 x 4GB) Dominator GT DDR3 1866MHz DIMM 240-pin CL9
  • Corsair 750W Corsair Modular PSU
  • Corsair Memory Cooling Hydro Series H100 High-Performance CPU Cooler
  • Gigabyte GeForce GTS 430 730MHz 1GB PCI-Express HDMI
  • CoolerMaster HAF-X Full Tower (Extended ATX) Black

Will it all work together?

I have an older Western Digital SATA hard drive... will that work with my new ASUS motherboard?? ( I will replace it eventually )

Also is there a good guide to follow when building a system?
n00b! (sorry)

Cheers

Phil
 
budget/ useage of pc?
no point in spending silly money on faster than 1600mhz ram for sandy bridge, other than bench marks you wouldn't see any worthwhile real world gains.
