Is everything in this list compatible with eachother?

Sapphire Radeon TRI-X R9 280X 3GB, Intel Core i5-4690K, ASUS B85M-G motherboard and Corsair CX 750w PSU

I currently have the Corsair CX 430w PSU, will that work with all of the items above??

(I'm on a tight budget so thats why I didn't pick a better motherboard)

The budget is a little bit under 1000$ (Things here in Norway are way more expensive and I can't buy stuff from Amazon etc)

Thanks ;)

You need the newer version 2001 BIOS for the i5 4690K. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/B85MG/HelpDesk_CPU/
Also you need double check the MB can or can't support the "USB BIOS Flashback", you can e-mail asus. Because if it can't then you need other new cpu to update the BIOS first, so that you can use the i5 4690K on b85m-g.

For the PSU, the cx430 is too weak to power the i5 4690K + r9 280x, you may need the good PSU like:
EVGA 600W Bronze PC Power Supply http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00EN3FD20/?tag=pcp0f-21
XFX 650W XXX Edition 80+ Bronze...
