Hi i am relatively new to computer building but i have done some research and have chosen some components for the build and am wondering if i should go ahead and build it and am worried if there are any compatibility issues.The budget is around £2000 and it will be for a lot of gaming at high resolutions and will be recording the game play and some video editing. I might add a water cooling loop in the future. i am going to be using windows 7 home premium 64 bit i already have a monitor and a mouse but not a keyboard so i need some advice for a gaming keyboard as well thanks

CPU: intel i7 4770k will overclock in the future
Motherboard: MSI z87-GD65 gaming
Case: CM storm trooper with a window panel
PSU: corsair HX+ 850w+ 80% gold
Heatsink: corsair hydro 100i
RAM: Corsair vengance pro red (2x4) 2133Mhz
optical drive: samsung SH224 dv
SSD: samsung 840 pro 256GB
Arctic silver 5 thermal paste
GPU: Sapphire HD 7990 6144MB
so what do you guys think? i am buying from overclockers.co.uk

Looks good mate, it will look really awesome with all the red and for that reason coupled with the fact Platinum rated PSU's are worth it, I would get the AX860 PSU instead. I would also get some Corsair AF fans and stick the red rings on them.

Keyboard wise there is only really main 2 categories, Mechanical and Membrane, both have their advantages and disadvantages and both have different features (Backlighting, extra usb ports etc) In the end its all down to personal preference and what you will do with it. I'm a big fan of the QPAD Mechanical Keyboards but the Corsair K series are also pretty awesome. Again purely because of the colour scheme I would recommend that QPAD MK85.
