Hi people of the forum :) I hope that I am posting this in the right place. This is a setup that I have chosen, could somebody please look over and check its all compatible and will work without a bios update.

They are compatible, but why are you buying all last generation parts? You should look into some newer offerings. A 3570K is available for less money right now. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80637i53570k

Looks good, you could downgrade to 600w save some money there, you could also save some money if you go for one of the FX series CPUs, but that's preference i guess, remember to change your mobo aswell if you do decide to go AMD :)

I was wondering why it was so cheap, then I noticed that a lot of those parts are not priced. Also you don't have any storage.

Did you see the compatibility note in pcpartpicker? If the motherboards needs a BIOS update before it can work with the cpu a qualified cpu will have to be installed to flash the BIOS before the new cpu can be used.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Plan later. Parts and prices change frequently and whatever list you come up with now will be quite irrelevant by February.
