Hey I'm a first time PC builder and are building this PC to suit my gaming and College needs. Tried to see if compatible on pcpartpicker.com but not all my parts are on their website, I believe everything is compatible but I'm not entirely sure.
Any help would appreciated - Build Below

I've already bought the GPU so That is my main concern concerning incompatibilities. Wow that is a weird sentence, anyway thank you in advance for any help :)

Change motherboard to a Gigabyte H97-gaming 3, CPU to an i5 4460, ram is probably higher priced, I would go with something like Gskill or Kingston. Mushkin is nice too. Crucial MX100, 128gb over the samsung. If savings are enough, put them towards a better GPU.
