Building my first pc. it's a gaming desktop.

been everywhere but here with almost but not quite enough help. is everything in this rig compatible and good? am i missing anything? mostly regarding the motherboard; is it good? is it compatible with the intel processor and video card, etc.? BTW already have the atx tower case and an OS. probably won't get the speakers yet. thats all, thanks a lot.
