So im upgrading my pc so i can play games like skyrim and battlefield 3 on at least medium detail. Here is what i will be buying. Note that if i left out any components i will be reusing what i currently have.

CPU: i5 2500k 3.3 Ghz (will be overclocking)
GPU: GeForce GTX 560 Ti
PSU: Corsair Gaming Series 700-Watt ATX
Mobo: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X series(2x4GB)
Fan: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212
Case: Cooler Master RC-932-KKN5-GP HAF

The only restriction on my budget is i dont want to go over $300 on anyone 1 component. Some questions i have are...
1. Are all of these parts compatible?
2. Should i get more than 1 of those fans?
3. I plan on buying the PSU first, so could a 700 watt PSU do bad things to a older system? Its not an ancient system but i think my current PSU gets 250watts.http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4146085&Sku=C283-1187
 
1. Yup, they should all work
2. I would. More airflow the better:tongue:
3. Nope, I had a 650W in an old system for a long time and nothing went haywire.

That build will max Skyrim and BF3 :tongue:
 
The gamer series isn't corsair's best line, aim for the enthusiast series if possible
