I will be using a Lian Li PC-P80N case I got on sale a month ago. Would there be any conflicts in what i picked out?

Am I able to put everything together and directly install Windows7 on to the SSD(This is my first time installing SSD)? Would I need a HDD for anything?

Random CDROM drive I have laying around

Is there anything tricky I should watch out for with this build? This is only my second time.
 
You shouldnt need a HDD, no. I have questions about the choices made more so than compatibility...

1. 32GB of RAM? For what? Unless you are doing professional quality rendering, encoding, multiple VM's etc... You wont even need 16GB.

2. I would also choose a Crucial M4 instead of Corsair Force drive.

3. 1050W PSU...for...........? I hope you have 2 580's. If you dont plan on going SLI, Then a single 750W PSU will be PLENTY.

4. If you plan on overclocking that CPU significantly, I would get an H100 instead of H80.

otherwise, looks good to me.
 
If you want a Sandforce drive, go OCZ. Otherwise, go with Samsung or Crucial. OCZ would be my recommendation though, seems to me the majority of issues have been resolved.

+1 to everything that's been said here so far.
