Getting a computer upgrade and need help, the specs i want, im not entirely sure if they all work together (i mean the sockets and the ports stuff like that)
(all these parts are off amazon so if you paste them into amazon it will tell the specs)

Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 1600 MHz CL9 XMP Performance Desktop Memory Kit - Black

AMD FX 8350 Black Edition "Vishera" CPU (8 Core, AM3+, Clock 4.0 GHz, Turbo 4.2 GHz, 8 MB L3 Cache, 125 W)

Sapphire AMD RX480 Nitro+ 4 GB GDDR5 Memory Polaris FinFET DX 12 Vulkan FreeSync PCI-Express Graphics Card

GIGABYTE INTEL LGA1151 B150 M-DS3H 4*DDR4 / 6*USB3.0 / 6*USB2.0 / HDMI / DVI-I / VGA / GBE LAN / Micro-ATX MOTHERBOARD

Corsair 550W Power Supply

if any of these dont work together, for example the motherboard doesnt work with the CPU or the GPU, can you recommend a motherboard (or any other parts for this matter), that are around the same price as the one i mentioned that will work.
 
Solution
The motherboard matches neither the CPU nor the RAM. I would recommend going for an i5 6400 + H170/B150 board + 8GB DDR4 instead, even if you have to downgrade to an Rx 470.

Please list the model of the power supply. Corsair makes some really good and some really bad units.
