Hi everyone.

I'm looking to upgrade my e6600 775 socket to a more up to date system. My main needs are WOW, Starcraft 2 and I do some web design and photo editing; but no heavy video editing or anything like that.

I have over the past couple of months bought a Graphics Card (HD5770), SSD (Corsair C300 128gb) and already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse.

I have put together the following build, have I missed any glaring compatability issues or are there any pieces of kit here that may have some issues? I haven't decided on a case yet, but probably gonna go for one of the Coolermaster ones, maybe http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-212-CM&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=. More than interested in any suggestions on this :) (probably maximum of £75 for this)

My list so far -
Intel i5-2500k
Gigabyte P67A-UD3 *B3 Revision*
OCZ StealthXStream 2 500w
OCZ Platinum 4gb 1600mhz
Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus
LG 22x DVD RW SATA

First off, thanks for the speedy and useful replies :)

Given the feedback I think I will go for the Advanced Dominator Case.

Regarding the RAM, is OCZ just a bad brand for RAM? I'm hesitant to risk going with the Viper RAM given the potential clearance issues? However there seem to be a few different brands available around the £40 mark.
