Yes everything is compatible. You don't need a 750w PSU. You may be able to save a few pounds by purchasing a 500-550w PSU.

What is your budget?

Hi again barto, thanks for the quick reply... I am looking to play games like dayz, minecraft and rust. At a push I would like to play fps's like battlefield 4 but not expecting to Max out the settings. Any recommendations to how I could improve the build within my budget would be appreciated

I think one of these two builds would be better.

Intel Build: If you purchase this build, you'll have the capability to upgrade to any 1150 socket i5 or i7 CPU (including K versions for overclocking). Decent motherboard for

AMD Build: While the FM2+ is the current future for AMD and the AM3+ socket is dead, the FX CPUs are stronger than AMD APUs. You also have a good motherboard for overclocking (which you will want to do with the 6300) and you can upgrade to a 8320 or 8350.
