Building a gaming PC will everything be compatible?

by ViperSRT1987 - 4/29/12 8:29 PM

Hey all,

I'm currently looking to build a gaming PC in the next month or so. I have been talking with some tech savy freinds and this is what the build looks like. I'm not too tech savy so I just wanted to double check. Thank you in advance for reading.

GPU: EVGA 01G-P3-1556-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) FPB 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I52500K

I have no idea. Didn't even realize it was a micro. Guess for some strange reason my eyes skipped over that part of the title. Do you have any other suggestions?
