New PC build, need some advice for compatibility!

All of those parts are indeed compatible, though I would change a few things (if you're using US prices).

First: That memory is quite a bit overpriced; you can get faster-running RAM for a good bit less.

Second: That board is OK, but you can get similar performance from a less-expensive unit. Entirely up to you.

Third: That GPU is egregiously overpriced, you can find a full-specced 1080 for less money.

Fourth: That PSU is both a higher wattage than necessary, in addition to being of mediocre quality. Go for a 650/550W SeaSonic Unit

Fifth: The case is entirely up to you. I prefer phanteks; they are less-expensive and still look stunning.

Here's the adjusted build:

Wow, you made me save a lot of money! I’m actually using EU prices so I couldn’t do all the changes but I did some. Thanks!
