I'm looking at building a gaming computer to run Total War: Rome 2 with good quality. I have never built a computer before and I was wondering if these parts could work together to acheive that goal:

Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-VLK PCIe 3.0
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB GDDR5
CPU: i5-3570k 3.4 GHz 6mb cache
PSU: Ultra LSP 650w ATX
RAM: Ballistix 8GB DDR3
Hard Drive: Toshiba 1TB 7200RPM Sata 3.5"
Case: Thermalake VL 800 series V3 black edition

I don't really know tech terminology so if you need more info please let me know and ill do my best to get it for you. Like I said this is my first time building a computer so please forgive me

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Monitor: Acer G185H

I have a monitor and a keyboard from my current computer and the total for all the parts probably around $900-$1100 budget. Also Ill be buying my parts in the US.

And thank you for the help

Thanks for the additional infor.
You will find your selected parts at the link below. Everything is compatible but have a couple of observations.
The case gets pretty bad reviews, flimsy, virtually no cable management, very tight space to work in + more, only comes with one fan and for a gaming rig you need to have much better airflow than that will give.
The PSU is old tech, very poor quality, I would never use it. You need a quality PSU that delivers clean stable power otherwise you will end up with heaps of problems and most likely damage to the components.
