I am building a gaming PC and i want to know if all my parts are compatible. I added some mandatory parts as custom parts. Here is my list.

Do you plan on doing anything other than things like gaming, surfing the web, watching videos, or homework? 16GB of ram isn't really necessary if that's all you are doing.

Is there a reason you want that particular cpu and motherboard? Your storage is the wrong link, i take it it is suppose to be a 1tb hard drive though by going off the price? I think if you grab a 3570k processor, ASRock extreme 4 motherboard, drop to 8GB of ram, and if you don't have some kind of loyalty to Nvidia I'd say grab an Asus hd 7850 from newegg, the price wouldn't be much different and I'd say the potential for the rig would be greater.

Here's a $815 computer In my honest opinion i think that this would be a better computer and its only about $25 more, but if you want the memory to have a black heat spreader it looks like you have to spend a bit more so it would make it about a $50 difference.

Well those would be the changes i'd make, maybe someone more experienced could come around and help you better and to answer your other question everything looks like it should work together just fine.

I plan to do video editing as well. I know 16 GB is a little more then I need though.
I chose those parts because they were the cheapest I could find.

I see, well this is a bit worse than the one from earlier, but it has 16GB of ram, $809 computer.

Well that all looks fine but if you don't have some loyalty to Nvidia, the xfx hd 7850 is only $2 more than that 650, and it will perform a good 40-100% better on games. I just thought i'd let you know, since you said it is going to be a gaming computer, only problem is its a 1GB card but even then it still should outperform the 650 by a good deal
