Hello,

I'm building my first high-end desktop pc. I'm an absolute beginner. I plan to buy these components:

ASUS H97-PRO motherboard | http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H97PRO/
Intel Core i5-4690 @ 3.5GHz processor | http://ark.intel.com/products/80810/Intel-Core-i5-4690-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz
ASUS Strix GeForce GTX 960 2GB graphics card | http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/STRIXGTX960DC2OC2GD5...
KINGSTON Hyper-X Fury Red DDR3 memory 1x8GB 1600MHz | No link because KINGSTON website is not working
Cooler Master G550M (550W) power supply unit | http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/gm-series/g550m...
Seagate 1TB hybrid SSHD @7200RPM hard drive | http://www.seagate.com/gb/en/internal-hard-drives/solid...
AEROCOOL Strike-X One Advance case | http://aerocool.com.tw/index.php/chassis/strike-x/39-ca...

Because i'm a beginner I want to ask you:

Are all these parts compatible with each other?
Will I get good performance with all these parts?
Will all of these parts get enough power from 550W PSU?
Is this build good?

I want my parts to last long. I have to buy OC graphics card because there isn't a non-OC version in my local shop. I mostly play simulators and my dream is GTA V.
