Your build is perfectly compatible. However i would suggest to change to latest gen unless you have some specif reason not to. Also changed some components for better like GPU while trying to retain the price range and black/white theme.

everything is compatible but...

-that RAM is overpriced, go for 2 8gb sticks
-get the 7200rpm WD 1tb blue HDD(wd10ezex)https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236339&cm_re=wd10ezex-_-22-236-339-_-Product for the same price as that 5400rpm one
-beware on that Corsair power supply, they are known for being reliable and having good warranty, but the fitment on the 24 pin power connector is so tight, it can be hard to fully seat, and nearly impossible to remove without prying with a flathead screwdriveer... both of which can damage the motherboard. something overlooked on most builds.

Actually no point in running quad channel on a dual channel board. Only makes it slower as the memory controller is optimized for dual channel. Also higher frequency can help more in OCing.

I was referring to the OPs choices. two 8gb ram sticks>four 4gb ram sticks, and it's usually cheaper

Question from iKingBen : "PC Part Ideas/ Question"





just make sure when you pick a case, you actually look at people's finished builds to get an idea of what is possible in terms of cable management... because some cases will advertise great cable management, but then turn out to only be mediocre

that is a nice power supply for cable management though
