Hey, forum. I'm looking to build my first PC in about a week or so with around $1000-$1100 that my parents have been saving up for me. I plan to use it for gaming and probably a little bit of AutoCAD and 3DS Max for school (nothing too extensive).
I've chosen these parts and I was wondering if they were any good and if they are all compatible with each other (I'm pretty sure they are, but a double check from an outside source couldn't hurt, right?)
So here's the list (all products found on newegg):

I already have a keyboard, mouse, and an HDTV, so that takes care of that. Also probably getting Windows 7 Premium off of Amazon.com for about $90.
That all comes out to about $1056 in my newegg cart due to two combo deals between the CPU & Motherboard and the Case & PSU.
Links to both combo deals:

If anybody could double check compatibility between all these parts or recommend better components for the same price (really can't go above $1100, I'm already pushing it with my parents lol), then I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys
Oh, and if it helps, I live in central Jersey, so if anybody knows any good computer hardware stores in the area, that could help too.
Thanks again.
