Hello,
Recently I decided to build a gaming PC, since I was a console gamer, this is my first build, and I want to make sure: 1. Are the parts compatible?, 2. Did I choose good components for gaming?, 3. How much this PC would last without upgrade? I would use this PC mainly for gaming.
Also I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions.

NOTE: I havent bought any of the components, but I will buy after your opinions.

Thank you in advace.
