Hello everyone...I am looking to build a custom gaming PC and I have decided on the following parts. So I would like some suggestions on which components I have chosen correctly and which components should I change. The parts which I am considering are-
Core I5 3570K Processor
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard
8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler
Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 Flex Graphics Card
BenQ 21.5 inch LED HD monitor (1920*1080)
Cooler Master Enforcer Mid Tower with CM Thunder 600W PSU
Seagate 1TB HDD
Kingston 64GB SSD
ASUS DVD-RW
Microsoft Wireless Gaming Keyboard and Mouse
Creative Inspire M4500 4.1 Speakers
And of Course I will be having an UPS, a Router and a Printer.
I plan on overclocking both the GPU and the CPU. So are the above components all right for a new build. By the way thanks in advance :)
 
Not bad. Try to upgrade to the 4670k because the 3570k socket is dead now.

64GB SSD is small these days, it will fill up too fast. 128GB is the min now.

PSU in that case could be a bad one. Most Case PSUs are poor quality.
 
Not a bad list at all.

As con said upgrade your CPU, SSD and PSU.

As for PSU, stick with either SeaSonic or Corsair.
