Those parts are compatible, but I would not buy this setup. What do you intend to use this PC for? If it's for gaming, the GPU is extremely dated.

The SSD is almost too small to be useful, so I'd skip it until you can afford at least a 120/240 GB drive. The Samsung 840 EVO or Crucial M500 are much better models as well. I'd also recommend a 2TB Western Digital Black or Seagate Barracuda drive over the Toshiba.

The i5-4670 is much faster for about the same $$$. You should also grab a "H97" mobo, as it's also about the same $$$, but allows you to upgrade the CPU down the road.
