Hello, and if you are reading this, i need your help.

okay, so, i'm sort of a noob with computers. I know more than the average person, my knowledge level is currently sitting at "have a vague idea of how to build a computer".
I have been doing a little research, since i want to build my own computer,
and these are the specs i chose:

Case:
Thermaltake Armor A90 Case
Cost: $90

CPU:
Intel Core i5 2500
Cost: $205

Graphics Card:
ASUS GeForce GT430 1GB Low Profile
Cost: $80

Monitor:
ASUS VH238H 23in Widescreen LED Monitor
Cost: $175

Memory:
G.Skill ECO F3-10666CL7D-4GBECO (2x2GB) DDR3
Cost: $55

HDD:
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB HD103SJ
Cost: $60

SSD:
Corsair Force Series 115GB SSD
Cost: $200

Motherboard:
Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3 B3 Motherboard
Cost: $140

Optical drive:
ASUS DRW-24B3ST 24X DVDRW Drive
Cost: $25

Power Supply:
Gigabyte Odin 720W
Cost: $95

CPU Cooler:
CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ CPU Cooler
Cost: $33


TOTAL: $1150

I'm from Australia so i cant use newegg (which blows, because newegg is awesome), so im using a website called
vww.pccasegear.c0m
its where i found all the specs.

SO anyway, please if you have a minute, just scan over the specs and give me a heads up on
1. if everything is compatible (it all fits and works together)
2. I'm not being ripped off
3. on a scale of 1 (average everyday pc thats a few years old) to 10 ($15,000 custom built computer with insane specs) please rate these!

My price range is at most $1,500

Much appreciated!
 
What is your intended usage for this computer?

It looks OK, but the GPU is weak if your considering the build for gaming.
 
Intended use for computer

well i want it to be a good all-rounder, perhaps leaning a little more into the 'gaming computer' category.

i want it to handle games like crysis without too much difficulty.

would the HIS Radeon HD6870 IceQ X 1GB (at $200 AUD) be better?

also could you tell me if all the specs i chose would work if i put them together?
