Opinions on First PC Build

[cablay]

Hey!

So I'm building a PC for the first time and I'd like some opinions/advice. It's intended to be a budget-ish gaming PC (for games like Guild Wars 2, Skyrim, Civ V, browser games). I'll list the parts I'm considering (with links and approximate discounted prices on newegg) getting and I'd appreciate it if you guys could let me know:
1) If these parts are indeed compatible
2) If you would suggest other parts of comparable cost
3) Any other advice, opinions, suggestions

looks pretty good, very similar to my build, although sense your gaming get 2x4 RAM 8 gb is the ideal amount for gaming.

Sweet, thanks! I figured I could just add another 4gb pretty easily if it doesn't work as well as I'd like, but I'll consider going ahead and getting it.

How'd you come up with the price on that PSU? I checked newegg and it says it's $64.99 with a $20 rebate card for an effective price of $44.99.

There's also a 15% off promo code.

Ah, didn't see that, sorry.
