Can you please help on this build I will be getting in the coming weeks, and are there any compatibility issues?

Any suggestions on what can be changed or improved without a radical change in price?
The cheaper the build is, the better. :P Are there any cheaper options?


My Build:
Corsair LP Vengeance 16GB 1600MHz CL9

Intel Core i7-2600K 3.40GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-358-IN

Pioneer 24x Internal S19LBK DVD Rewriter - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CD-075-PO

Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-336-WD&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=

Gainward GeForce GTX 580 "GOOD Edition" 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-141-GW&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1812

Noctua NH-D14 Dual Radiator CPU Cooler - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-011-NC

Is the Coolermaster GX 750w Power Supply that comes with the HAF X enough? Or will it be better to get this:
OCZ ZX Series 1000W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-053-OC


The Monitor I will be using is:
ASUS VE247H 24 inch LED Widescreen Full HD 1080p -

TKS FOR ANY HELP!!

Nothing wrong there, even the RAM will fit under the huge heatsink.

But do lose the link now as mentioning competitors isnt allowed.

Whats this PC to be used for as a i7 2600K isnt needed if its mostly a gaming PC?

The GX750W PSU isnt great and so I would sell it on as soon as it arrived with the case.
 
Links of amazon are off. Sry.

I would be using this PC for gaming but I will be also doing a great amount of video editing. Such as call of duty montages. Thats why Im going for the i7
 
A 1000W power supply is OTT unless you plan on going SLI.

Just get the standard HAF-X and a decent 700-750W PSU which will be plenty powerful enough.
