Do these components work together?

I decided I don't have the money to make myself a gaming rig I'm happy with (plus CS:GO will be coming out and is kb/mouse compatiable) so I will just continue gaming on the console. But with that being said I do need a new home/office computer with maybe some very light gaming with older games. I put this build together quickly on newegg for under $600 which was my goal.

How does this build look for the money and will all the components function together properly? Thanks

EDIT: As for your question, yes, your build does work...however, I would suggest that build. I would recommend getting an AM3+ MoBo so you have more CPU options in the future, I would also not go with the Athlon x2, since for a little bit more you can go with a Sandy Bridge Pentium CPU, which is substantially better than the Athlon II x2.

Doesn't look like it matters as I didn't get approved for the Newegg Preferred Account credit line. That was going to be my way of purchase so I could pay it off in January or February due to having christmas this month.
