1. are all the parts compatible
2. is there any money saving downgrades that don't effect the performance much ( i know i could get a 760 but i'll just stay with the 670)
3. are the parts good quality
4. any tips for a first time builder
5. How do the mail in rebates work
6. is the thermal compound with my cpu fan better than AC5
7. Should i go for more ram

Looks all good
But, i'm not sure whether the PSU is Haswell Certified.
With the new 4th Generation, when they idle, they draw a tiny amount of power. Some PSU's won't be able to cope with only giving out a tiny amount of power. o it would be worth checking if it is Haswell Certified

But apart from that:
1. Yes
2. Depends, do you intend on overclocking?
3. Yes
4. Check you have the appropriate kit i.e antistatic wristband otherwise REMEMBER TO GROUND YOURSELF BEFORE ToUCHING ANYTHING, AND I MEAN ANYTHING!!!
5. No idea
6. Not sure
7. 8gb should be plenty

Hope this helps!!!
P.S Read Number 4 again!!!
