Hi,
Could anyone tell me if all of my components are compatible with each other?

FaLcon 2s Workstation rig:

CPU - AMD FX 8350 8-core 4Ghz Black Edition
PSU - Corsair RM750
GPU - Sapphire Radeon R9 270x 4GB OC
MOBO - M5A99FX Pro R2.0
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (single) + 8 GB (single)
Cooling - Corsair H80i
Case - Cooler Master HAF 912 Combat
Storage - WD Black 2 TB
 
Yes, but at that cost you are better off with an Intel setup. The non-overclocking build below sports a stronger CPU and GPU. If you want to overclock the CPU, look toward a Z97 motherboard with either the i5-4690k or i7-4790k and an aftermarket CPU cooler. Feel free to swap out the R9 290 for a GTX 970...
