After days of trying to find the right parts to a PC I'm trying to build, I finally came up with something I'm happy with. Are all the parts compatible and will they fit in the case? This is my first time attempting to build a PC so I would like some reassurance. Thanks

all looks compatible

600w corsair should be ok

maybe get 1600mhz ram instead of 1333mhz and ram should be 1.5v

if overclocking make sure to get an aftermarket cooler

all looks good your psu will be plenty for that build might i suggest getting an aftermarket cooler for your 2500k maybe a coolermaster hyper 212 they are only about 40 bucks other than that you shouldnt have any troubles good luck with your build and let us know how it goes.

All will fit. But perhaps you have better future upgradeability with a 750W PSU. It is good to invest in this because the PSU is one of the few components you can bring to your next built. I recommend this which is just $20 more (with rebates) than the 600W. I think its worth it.
