Everything is compatible and it looks to be a good spec for a basic family PC.

The onboard HD2000 graphics will handle basic tasks well but won't set the world on fire as far as modern games go. That said, you may get half decent FPS if you set to low res, low settings etc.

You could save a bit by going for a smaller (say 40GB) SSD and combining with a mechanical HDD to benefit from SRT which will only see a marginal drop in performance when compared to having a larger SSD dedicated to the OS and key apps. But if you are happy with the cost of the larger SSD then that remains the better option.

You could also drop the PSU wattage down a bit. The spec will not use much power - unless you add a GPU later - so a branded 400W PSU more would plenty.

As DMS said I would use swap out the SSD for a sub 64gb model and use SRT, other than that it's a nice usable build, only thing's I would suggest are maybe look at Z77 boards for their slightly improved SRT tech, Im not going to suggest a Ivy Bridge at €70 more it's just not worth the difference, yes HD2500 graphics are better but you can pick up a dedicated GFX card for €50 that will outperform it.
