Are all of these components compatible with each other?

Solution
500w is pushing it, I would go for 550w to have more wiggle room.
i7 is good for video encoding and cpu intenisve programs but does not help you at all for gaming only rig, if gaming only then an i5 would be a better use of funds. Can then get a better gpu or SSD with the savings.
Would suggest using ethernet cable or powerline adapter for gaming over wifi. Out of the three, WiFi has the slowest latency (longest delay).

Yes, not exactly ideal on some of it. Partpicker tends to take care of compatibility.
Minor changes:
Slightly better power supply, 80+ Bronze instead of 80+ and 50 more watts.
1866 memory with a CAS of 9 rather then 2133 with a CAS of 11
Better motherboard for overclocking.
Aftermarket CPU cooler
Dual band WiFi rather then single band (allows more options)
