It's all compatible.

But you won't be able to overclock your CPU with the multiplier on that motherboard.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130695&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Get that motherboard instead so you can overclock. It only costs $5 more.

Either get the B85 motherboard and a 4670 non "K" version (or better yet a i5 4440), or get the 4670K and a Z87 motherboard. Otherwise you are throwing money away.

Otherwise the build looks fine, but I would recommend a 650W minimum PSU if you ever want to put a high quality graphics card in it.
 


I'm not sure about that motherboard. When it was on new egg it got bad reviews 37% of the time. And looking on Amazon you can see that it got a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
