I have put together some parts. I want to know if i am missing anything or if i have a compatibility issue. I also would like recommendations on anything. I will be using this computer for mostly gaming but also for general purpose and school work.

A description of the parts beside the links helps.
Some don't like to click on the links to see what they are, I know I won't.

Welcome to the forum.

Nice help, maxx. Seems like a nice build.

Generally speaking Newegg is cheaper than Tiger Direct, unless you get taxes from Newegg since you live in the same state. Also try Amazon. I'm not saying Tiger Direct is bad, but always shop around to find your hardware as cheap as you can.

SSD is not needed If you don't want. You can also get cheaper ones too, money saver. I like to just use a regular internal HDD. Mouse/Keyboard?

Go for Sandy bridge/Ivy Bridge and get a 2500k or 3570k. That CPU won't help with your needs and will save you a bundle.

For the price, I'd go with a AMD 7850. Cheaper than a 570, and has 2GB of vRam which will help gaming at 1080p. Or if you go with a different CPU like I suggested, you can probably up to a 580.

Go for 8GB of RAM rather than 16GB unless you have an absolute need for 16GB. 8GB is more than enough for gaming. I agree with claptonman on the 2500K /3570K recommendation - I'd wait for the 3570K if I were you. The new chips will have the 22nm process meaning they'll overclock further and run cooler, two benefits in one there! The money you save by going for the 3570K and 8GB of RAM I'd put towards a better GPU such as the GTX 580 or GTX 680.
