Ok so Im making my first pc build, for now Ive got everything under control except for the compatibility of my motherboard and my CPU

This is the motherboard I wanna buy:

And this is the CPU I wanna get:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727

Im pretty sure they are compatible but Im not a 100%

Oh and would this HDD go along with my motehrboard?

Your cpu, mobo, and hdd are all compatible, but if you are building a new pc, i recommend something else for the budget.

For CPU, I recommend something like FX6300, a six core, higher clocked AMD cpu, slightly more expensive but better value than older Phenom II 965.

For mobo, I recommend decent AM3+, but make sure it has SATA 6.0Gb/s to maximize storage data transfer speed, either for your current HDD choice (which is SATA 6.0Gb/s) or may be an SSD in the future. You will lose 1/2 the performance if you buy an older board with only SATA 3.0Gb/s

Of course.. "Support up to 95W Socket AM3+ processors" I forgot that lower end boards don't support higher TDP chips. Thanks for setting this straight.
