Im building a cpu for the first time and im new at this so I need some thoughts

Mother Board: MSI Z87-G43
Processor: i5 4670
Video Card: MSI GTX 760 Twin Frozr
Memory: Corsair 8GB CMV8GX3M1A1600C11 DDR3
Hard Drive: WD Caviar Blue 1TB
Case: Cooler Master RC-K281-KKN1
PSU: Huntkey 600W

is everything compatible?
will this be a good build?
 
That PSU is trash, get a better power supply. Is the CPU you're buying the 4670,or the 4670k? If you're buying a locked CPU, there's no point in buying a Z87-G43. You also want better RAM. That RAM has too high of a CAS latency, when you can get better for cheaper.

For gaming, though, you'll get High/Ultra pretty easy :)

What RAM and PSU sould i get?
Im buying the non k but i'll keep the G43 for upgrading purposes
 
RAM is RAM, just look for the cheapest 1600 or 1866 speed with CAS9 at 1.5v you can find. The ADATA below (V1.0 or 2.0) is usually on sale somewhere for a good price. Enermax makes great power supplies as well, and this one has plenty of power if you do add an overclockable CPU in the future, and is modular to help keep everything tidy:
