I am in the process of building a new computer. I think that I have picked out the parts that I want. Being this is my first build I would like a little help in ensuring that all the parts are compatible and that I haven't overlooked anything. If I missed something or if something is incompatible please let me know. Thanks

Case: Roswell Challenger U3: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147060

Motherboard: ASUS P8B75-V LGA1155: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131835

CPU: Intel i5 3450 Ivy Bridge: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116506

RAM:Kingston 8Gb(2x4) DDR3: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104246

(I know the board and processor can support more 3.0 but I can't afford one right now)

Power Supply: COOLMAX ZX Series ZX-500 500W: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159124

Boot Drive: OCZ Agility 3 AGT3-25SAT3-60G 60Gb SSD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227725

Operating System: Windows 7 64bit

I Already have a 500GB Data Drive that is SATA that I will continue to use as well as a Blu-Ray/ DVD-RW SATA that I will also use in this computer.
 
The 450 is an okay card but you might want to bump it up a little if possible. Maybe a 6850?
 
Power Supply and GPU

I think I will probably go with one of those power supplies you recommended but I am not sure which yet. Thanks. The GPU I would love to spend more and get a much better one but my wife has put a price cap on me and the one I have selected is keeping me below that cap. I do plan on upgrading that as soon as she will let me.
I appreciate all the input.
