Hi guys! I'm new to this forum and PC building in general, and I'm putting together my first PC. I've organized a part list on PCPartPicker, and thought I would just make sure with the community there are no compatibility issues before I start. IF there are issues, please keep in mind that I already have all the components (scavenged from old-ish stuff), except for motherboard and case. Thanks so much!

looks fine.

Comments wise:
-The corsair power supply you got will do the trick, but it is a bit lower end than I would have recommended.
-Would have personally gone with a GTX 950 or 960. They are much newer and give much better performance per dollar. Plus they are almost the same price as the 750 ti.
-A better gpu and and i5 would have been much more optimal for gaming, if that is the use of this machine. $100 extra bux for the i7/i5 difference would have gotten you a 970 and outstanding performance at 1080p.

Okay! thanks for the advice :p what happened was my dad brought home his work computer, and i was planning on just changing parts in that. i looked into the GTX 950, but it wouldn't fit in the original case. however, upon recieving and trying to install the gpu and psu, i realized the PSU cage AND mobo are both non-standard. So, since i have all the parts already, I'm just getting a new case and mobo and scavenging the hdd and i7 from the work computer.
