Are these components compatible?

I'm upgrading my PC and I'm wondering if these parts are compatible with each other.

I also have a 460 watt power supply and a micro ATX case.

Get better ram eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231455 Otherwise, the rest is fine.

Make sure you PSU is from tiers 1, 2a or 2b of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

It is clocked higher, but higher Ram speeds aren't proven to help in gaming (If that is what you are doing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWgzA2C61z4

1066 ram is dumb when for another $10 you can get 1866.

Okay another thing. Is it possible to get 1 4gb stick right now, for example this:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231310 and then get another stick exactly like it later, and have 8 gb total? Basically is it possible to use 2 of these as 8gb ram total?

 

[i7Baby]

Yep - you can do that

Thank you you've been extremely helpful, one last question. Is the motherboard I linked powerful enough to run the CPU at full power? Because my last PC had an issue where the motherboard wasn't strong enough to run my CPU at full speed.

 

[i7Baby]

Yes - your motherboard will work with the i3 no problems.
