Will this work?

[orca-4444]

I've been thinking about getting this deal:
http://deals.dell.com/productdetail/fdcwrp203bw10mbedb
Then putting in this GPU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127898&cm_re=Gtx_960-_-14-127-898-_-Product
And this PSU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028
Will this all work?
Will it all fit and be compatible?
Will the GPU be bottlenecked in any way?

For the price of all that you're basically paying $700 (after rebates) for an i5-4460 and a GTX 960. It's a decent setup and would perform well in games, except that PSU is junk.

However, for less money you can build this and get a better GPU and better PSU for less money and afford an SSD if you want.

Better than the CX, but still not that good. See here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

The one that you picked out looks perfect. At first I googled the PSU and found something completely different (and way out of my price range) but I found the ACTUAL psu now. Also, that GPU looks awesome.Is there anything else I should know before I order all this stuff? This will be my first PC( for gaming & college).

Nope, you've pretty much got it covered.

It's been pretty fun learning about computers. A month ago I didn't know anything. Now I'm teaching my gaming PC owning friends about the thing they use every day.
Thanks for the help!

As it turns out, the R9 290 needs a 750 watt or greater PSU. Are there any that you would recommend?

You don't actually need a 750w PSU, the reason that's listed is because a lot of people will buy cheap overrated PSUs. The one you choose will work fine.
