This is my first time building my own computer and am looking for some confirmation from the pro's in-case I overlooked anything. I've spent a few week's researching how to choose the parts and this is what I've come up with:
CPU: i5 2500k 3.30ghz $220

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 $30

Mobo: ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.1) $180
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131771
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 $55

GPU: HIS IceQ X Turbo Radeon HD 6950 2GB 256-bit $270

PSU: Corsair TX750 V2 $110

HDD: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 7200 RPM 1TB $75

Basically I'm looking for confirmation that all these parts will work together. I do plan on experimenting and overclocking this computer so I want to make sure I've got the right parts to do it. I'm also wondering if these prices are coming down soon because I'm looking at builds from early this year with these same parts costing the same.
Also have I chosen good parts? Or are there cheaper/better parts that I could substitute in? Any advice/comments on my build is appreciated as I plan to start purchasing the parts soon.
