First time doing this so I'm not sure if these parts are compatible.

Intel Core i5-3550 Ivy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2500


ASUS P8Z68-V LE LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS


G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL


EVGA 01G-P3-1561-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card


CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W ATX12V v2.31/ EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply


I'll be using my HDD from my current computer, and some CoolerMaster case, haven't decided yet.

But any suggestions are welcome. I can provide links if needed.

Also, if I transfer my old HDD, will I need to re-install the OS, or should it boot up like normal once everything is connected?
 
Thats really a good price on that Asrock board. To equal it with a Gigabyte you would have to spend 190 bucks on the GA-Z77X-UD5H.
 
Awesome. Looks like this should turn out well thanks for the advice.

One last question. When installing the CPU, will I need to add thermal paste myself? Or does it come pre applied?
