Hi Jordan,
It looks like you're getting your PC built for you by an external company so all should be compatible!
The only thing I would suggest is that you lowered to PSU. You won't need 1000w in the machine as it stands, if you plan to upgrade in the future, by all means, keep the 1000w PSU, if not, I would lower it and save a couple of $.
Just my opinion though!

oh okay thanks :p I had a 800 watt cooler master or something of the like.. but they had this new azza psu and it only cost like an extra 2 bucks, Do you know much of this brand and the psu's they sell? should i go back to 800 or 850 you think with reliable brand like corsair?
 
AZZA is AWFUL. Coolermaster is as well.

You want a PSU from Antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic. It is easily the most important part of the computer. 500w is more than enough for this build.

DO NOT get a junk PSU. If (when) it fails it will ruin all of your other components.

To answer your question, no you are not getting the most bang for your buck at all. If you build yourself you can get a system to max all games for $1000

Also, there are alot of things I would change about this build to make it perform much better for gaming.

Thank you for your replies,
I will definitely go with a corsair psu...
also id like to add that I am from canada and those prices include tax and shipping and prices to get here

Tiny voices, I am currently building a computer through www.cyberpowerpc.com because I know little to nothing about hardware. I just love to game. Do you know a better canadian website perhaps? also It would be great if you could configure a build for me over there that you think would be more beneficial? it is quite quick and easy and it would help me out . I dont wanna regret such a pricey purchase
