First Gaming Rig: Will these work together ?

[goatzil]

So I picked out some components that, in my opinion are pretty good, but since I'm inexperienced, I was just wondering if these are compatible and offer quality for the money. Any advice or suggestions are extremely helpful.

OCZ is currently in bankruptcy , don't buy one (PSU) because you may not get warranty coverage.

You're buying a non-overclockable CPU and an overclockingable motherboard, and that's a waste of money. Do you want to overclock?

Probs not going to overclock. What motherboards would you recommend then? Going back to the search...

But that motherboard you suggested is really good for its price, so my suggestion would be sticking to that motherboard and get an i5 3570k, since it's much more powerful and overclockable, but it costs $45 more. Or you could buy 4th gen CPU and motherboard (i5 4xxx and Z87)
