Im thinking of getting these parts for my pc build. Are these all compatible with each other?

I will NOT be using this PC just for gaming!!!! I have no intention of overclocking, i know its good for performance but i don't plan to.

Intel® Core™ i7-4770 Processor (8M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz)
ASUS Z87M-PLUS Motherboard
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 2GB
Corsair Professional Series AX 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Gold (AX750)
WD Digital Caviar Black 1TB
128GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD
2x4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 Ram
ASUS DRW-24D3ST 24x Dual Layer SATA DVD Burner Drive BULK
NZXT H230 Silent ATX Mid Tower Desktop Computer PC Case USB3.0 White NO PSU


Suggest parts to me if any of the above isn't compatible with each other!!
I don't alot about computer hardware
anything else i missed please let me know..
As for my budget, im thinking around $1000-$1500
thanks

oh and whats sli and crossfire?
 
They are compatible.

Cheaper PSU: Corsair 650 TX

I'd get 4x4GB. It depends on what kind of work you will do on that PC. For example in Visual Studio 16GB works MUCH better than 8GB.

SLI means two or more nVidia graphics cards. Crossfire is the same thing with AMD cards. It's mostly for people who play games a lot and want large resolutions and lots of fps.
 
Actually, I meant to say I'd get 2x8GB RAM, that's even better than 4x4GB because it leaves room for expansion.

I linked the PSU to Newegg USA. I hope you can find it in Australia too. Either way, get something rated 600W or 650W from Corsair, Seasonic or XFX. The AX series from Corsair is excellent but very expensive.

H87 chipset motherboard since you're not overclocking.
It's mATX so the case is slightly smaller than standard ATX mid towers.
2x8gb for your "work".
