I just wanted to know if these parts are all compatible?

We are looking to build some computers for work, and I think I can get a much better performing computer by building them (I have built a couple computers already). Our budget is under $700.00, so if you have any better options let me know. I would like to stick with a SSD, and an Intel Processer.

The Build:

This should work for you. You get the longevity of an i7, and can still enjoy some of that lunch time fun. I like this build better.

Mainly a lot of Microsoft office. But we also run Adobe for marketing/design. Will be running dual monitor. Possible lunch time fun (games). Would like it to be sufficient for the next 4 years.

Kind of a dumb questions. Are all these parts are definitely compatible (aside from any defective products)? Have you put a similar build together? I just want to make sure that I reduce the likely-hood of issues, since this is for work.

I messed up my sentence a bit. I originally intended to go with a Xeon 1230 v3, but backed off since I didn't know what kind of games you were talking about and went with an i5 and went with a faster, but more efficient GPU. These parts are all compatible. PCpartpicker has a built in compatibility filter. I have not put this particular system together, but been building my own for 13yrs. :)
