Asking someone to check on my build and see if I might have any issues, and if it would be a good idea to change something. I want to stay at or below $800. This will be my first time building a pc.

All of the components will work together and you seem to have picked some pretty good parts. However, I would stay away from cx series corsair psu's as they are not the greatest quality. anything XFX or Seasonic is generally regarded as being good quality.

Same build with better psu: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ykqnxr

I would not use that case either, but cases are a personal choice.

If, for ome other reason, you really want a Z motherboard, then:
