Hello everyone, I have been needing a new pc for a while, as this one is starting to get very slow and wont even load webpages half the time, it took me like 10 minutes to sign up here...

Anyway, I have been looking on Newegg and decided to build my own custom system for under $500 and was wondering if all these components would be compatible with each other so it would be a good working pc for light gaming. I dont have many games, but I would mostly be playing Dota 2 or Diablo 3, I was considering getting Fallout 4 as well but I know that game has some high graphics so its not a priority.

This is what I could get for under $500 (prices included as of right now, and rebates)
Heres the list of hardwares:
Raidmax Viper $59.99 ($10 rebate + 20% off code -$12)
GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD3H Z97 $124.99 ($30 rebate. Plus 2x 4GB G.Skill DDR3 memory included)
Intel Core i5-4590 $179.99
Pioneer Blue-Ray RW $76.66
Corsair CX600 600W PSU $49.99 ($20 rebate)
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD 64MB 7200RPM $47.99
GeForce GTX 750 Ti 109.99 ($20 rebate)

The total ends up being $564.93 (with $80 in rebates, so $484.93)
But will this all work fine together? And is there any other hardware parts I need? Thanks in advance!

Looks alright to me, it should suit your purposes just fine.

I do have some thermal paste already. I was also wondering, would I be able to upgrade this pc to Windows 10 and use my Windows 7 on the new pc? Or is that key now used up?

And for those doing the math on the first post, its not right because this computer is so slow the blu-ray didnt get added to the cart. Ill be checking other sites for lower prices but for the same hardware, on a tight budget.

I used my Windows 7 key on several computers before it ran out. You should be fine doing 2-3 machines on the same install key.
