Will this all work (New Build)

[Dekasa]

Haven't built a new rig in awhile, and definitely not one this expensive (I've been stuck doing tiny upgrades as cheaply as possible for several years) and I wanted a second opinion before purchase. Also, I'm not too up-to-date on the new Sandy Bridge stuff.

Whole thing is pretty much just for gaming at 19x10.

Here's what I've got:

Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost)
COOLER MASTER Hyper N 520

MSI P67A-C43 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3

Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"

Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Antec TruePower New TP-650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V

SAPPHIRE 100315L Radeon HD 6850 1GB

All at about $760 (Combo deal for all but Video Card & CPU Cooler, took $50 off)

Firstly, does it all work together, second can I get better performance for less? I think the CPU might be more powerful than necessary, but I figure I'll keep it and upgrade the GPU in 2-3 years.

Yeah, it should work fine. I'm not a fan of the MSI boards, but lots of people here use them.
Apparently, Seagate's reputation isn't what it once was. Many folks here are now recommending the Samsung hard drives instead. You might want to look into those if you haven't already made your purchase.

It's definitely compatible. Some of those parts (RAM, HDD, case) wouldn't be my first (or second) choice and the PSU is really overkill. You are basically getting the HDD for free though.
