Is this a good build?

CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K

RAM: 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 RAM 1333MHz

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H61M-S2PV Micro ATX

PSU: Seasonic S12-II 520W 

GPU: ASUS GTX 580 1.5GB 

Case: Corsair 100R (if it supports Micro ATX boards)

HDD: 750GB Seagate Barracuda ES

SSD: Intel 320 Series 160GB

This will be a secondary computer, so parts don't have to be exactly brand new, but still usable.

Also, all of the parts are used.

GPU seems a bit weak and it'd be better if you could get your hands on 2x8gb but for the most part it's pretty good.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Thanks.

I can try to get my hands on 2x8GB but it might have to be 4x4GB.

Also I don't know how but I accidentally clicked enter and it posted so I was in a hurry to get it posted correctly. 

I will find a case and HDD now and put it on the list.

for what? and have you already these parts?

I do not have these parts yet. 

And it really depends, one minute I could be doing things in FL studio the next minute I could be using GIMP or paint.net

I forgot to mention, this is just a list, I might not buy these parts, depending on if I can afford them or if the auctions end.

Yes, these are all ebay things.

then try getting i7-2600 locked because you don't have an unlocked chip so it would be a waste spending more money
