I am a tech noob and i would like you guys response to this specific build. Is it compatible? does it all fit in the case? will it operate in a normal temperature e.g. will the system cool fine? should i go for a 750-850 psu if i consider SLI? Is the system drive necessary?  i want everything to be perfect so i would not encounter any problems building this. (total price= roughly $1700-1800). I have my own mouse, keyboard, should i consider a 2560x1440 or a 2560x1600 monitor? As u can see i have abit of cash laying around.

Yes it's compatible. Make your part lists on www.pcpartpicker.com and it will say if something isn't compatible. Happy building :D

Also, I have heard the Hyper 212 EVO is a little tricky to install, but you should be fine. It will keep your CPU at good temps.
