New to PC builds - Are these parts compatible?

I know this question gets asked a lot around here; wanted to be sure before purchasing anything.

This is meant to be a gaming build. If anyone could share any suggestions, I'll appreciate it immensely.

This is a better use of your money. Stronger cpu, better motherboard, and more reliable psu.

Appreciate the response. Could you explain how the psu you've suggested is more reliable?

The psu you selected is known for being less reliable than average. It's made with some cheap inner components.
The psu I selected is known for being very reliable. It's made with durable components.
