This is my first time Ever building a computer, though I am very tech-savvy and have repaired/upgraded a few computers in a past, this is my first build from the ground up.

A couple of questions I have about this build:
I will be using a 42 inch 1080p flatscreen tv as the main monitor/display for this build, Do I have sufficient GPU power to run most games at medium to high settings?
Are the parts I've selected compatible with each other? Any known compatability issues with the mobo/cpu combo I've chosen?
Do you know any parts that would out perform what I've chosen while remaining in the same price range?
My goals for this build:
Do not go one dollar over 500$USD (BEFORE MAIL IN REBATES) not even for shipping costs, and would prefer somewhere around 485-490 just to be sure nothing will go over.
I literally have 500 exact dollars to spend on this machine, so before rebates price cannot go over that.
The actual price on pc builder is about 460 before rebates, so I have about 40 bucks to play with right now, unless you guys suggest some hard ware changes that open up more money.
Have enough power to play most games on medium to high settings with a few games on ultra, using my current 42 inch 1080p flat screen, cant afford a new display at the moment.
Do some light video rendering/encoding that wont take all day.
Decent multitasking
Occasional Screen Recording IN GAME.
Remote Desktop machine I can access from my smartphone to start torrents and such while away from home.
Possibly goofing around with some Cryptocurrency mining. (Definately willing to switch my video card choice to something that would work well with this goal on a budget.)
Keeping my goals in mind do you guys have any recommendations for a first time builder ?
