Hey I was just wondering if anybody could tell me if these parts are compatible with each other?

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor

MotherBoard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB ACX 2.0 Video Card

Case: NZXT S340 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case

PowerSupply: Corsair Builder 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Operating system: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32/64-bit)

Monitor: Dell S2440L 60Hz 24.0" Monitor

Note:
I am not overlocking anything! For the CPU cooler I am going to use stock fan.

Thanks you for your responses!

-Henry

Everything looks good to me! Your PSU is intended for basic use. Dont expect to overclock good or supplying three-way SLI. There may be other opinions out there but this one is mine.

Right. That's what I think as well. But with no further description...we are left to guess.

Sometime pcpartpicker misses compatibility though in terms of fitment. They try to be thorough but for example I just did a random build with an i5, hyper 212 evo cooler and the corsair spec-03 case. It said no issues with the build yet the spec-03 is a somewhat narrow case and 212 evo is too tall for it. If in doubt, best to check heights and clearances and things from manufacturer's sites rather than relying solely on pcpartpickers compatibility.

I don't see why the Intel Core i7-4790k is a bad choice... For gaming it's perfectly fine

Well what's so bad about it? I'm going to be playing like FarCry 4 and Crysis 3 and CSGO and I know this is VERY overkill but I will be using it for Mineraft too but overall those games are going to be set on High and maybe even Ultra and I want my CPU to be able to handle that

It's not 'bad', just 'not needed'. Put that extra money elsewhere.

Well can't I just get an SSD later? Because now I just need something to get me started and I wouldn't like to switch out this beast cpu for watercooling when I won't even overclock my CPU

an i5 4690k, or, if you don't like overclocking, an i5 4570 will do, heck even an i5 4440, which is even cheaper.
Going with locked processors allows you to go with an H97/B85/H81 chipset motherboard, which will you save you some bucks, get 16gb of RAM, expand your storage or get a better power supply....

Getting the SSD 'later' is sort of a pain. You want the OS and applications on it, and if the current used space is larger than the SSD size....pain ensues.

MUCH easier to start with the SSD in the first place.
