Advice Needed for First Time Build

CaiM44

Hi
I'm new to building PC's so I'll be honest and say i don't really know what I'm talking about, I've just been doing a bit of research on what each component does and how they work.
I'm looking for a powerful PC for gaming and a small bit of video editing under €1,100.
This is what I have come up with so far:

Hard Drive 1:Seagate Barracuda 7200 1500GB, SATA 6Gb/s
Hard Drive 2: Corsair Force Series GT 120GB SSD 6,4cm (2,5") SATA III
Mother Board: Gigabyte H77-D3H, Intel H77, ATX
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 Tray, LGA1155
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 Windforce 2X, 2GB GDDR5, 2x DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance PC3-12800U CL10-10-10-27
Optical Drive: LG DH18NS schwarz bare SATA II
PSU: Corsair Gaming Series GS700 2013 Edition 700W
Case: BitFenix Shinobi USB 3.0
WiFi: LogiLink Wireless LAN 300 Mbps PCI Karte 802.11n 2T2R

Can some one let me know if these parts will even work together let alone perform to the standard which i seek.

Thanks

Its looks compatible at first glance, however if you could fill out the first post from this thread on this one, it could be refined into something even better (Make sure to specify of what games, editing apps and monitor resolution you will be using as this will affect CPU/GPU choice)

This would be a good video editing build (most shamelessly stolen from one Bloodpath posted on a different therad), quite similar to what you posted except with a much better GPU (Probably overkill TBH a HD7950 would probably be much better value for 1080p gaming and chop 100 off the cost). The Xeon is very similar to the i7-3770, supports hyperthreading but just slightly lower clocked and no integrated graphics which doesn't matter with a dedicated GPU.

Thanks for the help,
Would the parts i specified fit together and work properly or is there any component thats too or weak too overkill?

Everything would work just fine. PSU is overkill 400 w or so is plenty. GPU is decent but think for 1100 you could squeeze something better in.

Thanks for the help I think I have my decision made, ill get a PSU (Corsair Builder Serie CX430 V3 Non-Modular 80+ Bronze, 430 Watt) and GPU (Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 Dual Fan, 2GB GDDR5, 2x DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort).
