Hey guys, I just put this build together and was wondering if all the parts were compatible. I was also wondering if you could help me save some money on the build, however i would really like to keep a Haswell i5 and a GTX 760, if they are not the same ones that i have on my list that is ok but I just want A GeForce GTX 760 and a Haswell i5. If you can bring the price down by changing some parts out then that is fine, I just want to still have good performance. Thanks and here is the list.

P.S. I am and canda and would very much prefer if all the parts come from NCIX.

P.P.S People have told me the motherboard is a bad choice, is it actually? If it is can you recommend another gigabyte board from about the same price.

for the same price (well a few bucks more you can get a h87 board with many more features. a b85 is about as basic of a board as youcan get.)

everything else doesnt look too bad. if you went with amd you could have probably got an overclockable system for the same price or cheaper but hey... what you have works.

keep in mind that you dont have an overclockable system (not sure if you care)

For this system I am not bothering with any such over clocking because it is the first build I have ever done and I am still learning how all this stuff works so maybe in my next system but not this one.
