The CPU has 8 cores so it won't bottleneck the GPU and the Motherboard is SLI compatible (just in case I want to) the case and PSU are cheap and cheerful and I don't need an optical drive, fans or a HDD (I can salvage from my old build) I'm buying all of it from newegg.ca and I am picking it up (not shipping) I know it may be cheaper else where but I refuse to do MIR's.

All this will be 100% compatible right?

It's a good build, but do you plan on overclocking? If so, I'd up the power supply and invest in a cpu cooler. Even if you're not overclocking, getting an aftermarket cooler would be good; the amd ones are really loud.

Since you don't have the 56$ of shipping, I recommend you pick a better quality power supply. This one is really cheap and more adapted to everyday computing. For gaming, you should have a unit with at least an 80+ Bronze certifcation. Choose one from either Seasonic, XFX or Corsair (except the CX or RM Series)

Apart from that, I would just suggest that you make sure you case have proper cooling. I generally recommend Corsair and Fractal Design enclosures. They are high quality and pretty affordable for the amount of features they have. Go check these out.

If you have other questions, feel free to ask them. Have fun building !
