Are these components compatible?

I'm upgrading my PC and I'm wondering if these parts are compatible with each other.

I also have a 460 watt power supply and a micro ATX case.

Get better ram eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231455 Otherwise, the rest is fine.

Make sure you PSU is from tiers 1, 2a or 2b of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

The GIGABYTE version of that GPU is $20 off right now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125480&cm_re=r7_260x-_-14-125-480-_-Product

Thanks, but what's better about the ram you linked?

It is clocked higher, but higher Ram speeds aren't proven to help in gaming (If that is what you are doing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWgzA2C61z4

1066 ram is dumb when for another $10 you can get 1866.

Okay another thing. Is it possible to get 1 4gb stick right now, for example this:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231310 and then get another stick exactly like it later, and have 8 gb total? Basically is it possible to use 2 of these as 8gb ram total?

i7Baby · Aug 17, 2014

Yep - you can do that

billyboydogg69 · Aug 17, 2014

Thank you you've been extremely helpful, one last question. Is the motherboard I linked powerful enough to run the CPU at full power? Because my last PC had an issue where the motherboard wasn't strong enough to run my CPU at full speed.

i7Baby · Aug 17, 2014

Yes - your motherboard will work with the i3 no problems.
