I'm completely new to making PCs and after hours of research and filling up my amazon cart I think I've got all the parts down, though im not sure, which is the problem, I need to know if all the parts are compatible, if i'm missing anything or any other problems in general.
The parts are;
Cooler - ARCTIC Alpine 11 Plus CPU Cooler
Monitor - AOC E2752VH 27-Inch Widescreen LED Monitor
CPU Processor - AMD A10-5800K APU 3.8Ghz Processor AD580KWOHJBOX
Internal Solid State Drive - Corsair Force Series GS Red 240GB (6Gb/s) SATA 3 SF2200
OS -Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64bit
Case - Corsair Obsidian Series 350D Performance Micro ATX Computer Case with Windowed Side Panel
Memory - Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB Kit (2x4GB)
Motherboard - ASUS Maximus VI GENE DDR3 1600 Intel Z87 LGA 1150
Power Supplie - Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS
Graphics Card - MSI AMD Radeon R9 270X Gaming 2GB GDDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express

Sorry for the wall of the text and many thanks for taking the time to even read this.

You have chose an APU, which you don't want in a high end gaming build anyway, and the wrong motherboard for it. Not a good power supply choice either. What is your overall budget? Oh, and the motherboard won't fit inside the case.

Here's something that will work: you can make adjustments by clicking Edit. It won't let you make large compatibility errors.
