I'm on a $1200 budget and want the best pc i can get for the price and this is actually my first time building a pc, so any tips would be great :D . So this is the build i'm planning on getting (in Australia) in Dec 2014/Jan 2015 and i want to know if the parts are compatible with each other :

Intel Core i5 4690K - $269
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler - $39

G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL (2x4GB) DDR3 - $99
ASUS Radeon R9 270X DirectCU II TOP 2GB - $249
Corsair CS650M Modular 80 Plus Gold Power Supply - $139
Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001 - $99

Have you considered PCPartPicker which informs the user if there is any incompatibilities and you may even find a cheaper price. Some of the Australian stores that offer great price are not on there though, like Umart or MSY. So those are a few stores to consider it get the best price for the best build. But PCCaseGear are still a great online store.

But to answer the question. Yes everything is compatible. Maybe consider an SSD.

Thanks for the advice :D  :D  . But is there anything i could upgrade to improve my performance while staying in my budget? I'm just wondering, but it's fine if you don't want to answer though :D , but thanks anyways.
