Hello, I am planning on building my first gaming pc. I'm trying to keep my budget between $500-$700. The link above is what I have picked out but since this is my first build, I am not sure if everything is compatible with each other or if this is even a decent system.

EDIT: Updated the parts list. Improved the PSU to 750W for potential to upgrade in the future. Too much?
