I am a novice and am trying my first build. I have selected these components based upon reviews and ratings (from Tom's among other places) and have come up with the following. I just want to make sure that these parts are compatible with one another (i.e. The CPU and the GPU I picked will fit the mobo; the cooler head will fit the CPU). These questions aren't readily apparent to me nor can I find them (or I'm not smart enough to find them) online. I am also open to suggestions like "Don't get that memory get this one" or "You also need this". Thanks in advance for the help.

Budget not an issue. The rig will be used for gaming. I checked out that guide before I posted but thought it was more for someone who wants advice on what components to get and I already did my research on that. What I had/have trouble figuring out is will this gear work together/fit.
