I assume it is difficult to tell what CPU, GPU is compatible due to many factors, but is there an easy way to tell?

I know people suggest PC part picker, but there are better deals on NewEgg.

But im not sure how to tell if the CPU and GPU i am going to buy is Compatible.

The cpu has almost nothing to do with what GPU you can use(just make sure it won't bottleneck the gpu). Really all you need to do is make sure your psu can power it, the motherboard has the appropriate slot and that it will fit in the case. Also Newegg is one of the many sites PCpartpicker pulls prices from. PCpartpicker doesn't sell anything it just shows prices and checks compatibility of builds.
