Hi,

This is my first build ever and i'm a noob. Please make recommendations if there is something better. My budget is $750, not one penny more. All of the parts I will buy will be from Newegg.

Hi. Those part are compatible but your budget allows for a current gen GTX 660 2GB and you don't need a 750W PSU for a single graphics card setup. If you don't mind an Intel build that can't be overclocked, I suggest the one below. I chose a PSU with modular cabling and kept the case but you're free to make any changes that you prefer.

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: Intel Core i5-3470 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($199.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock H77M Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($69.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($34.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card ($209.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Rosewill BlackHawk ATX Mid Tower Case ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Rosewill Hive 550W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($69.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $729.93

You can re-use your hard drive and your DVD-RW if they are SATA, but not if they are IDE. You'd have to reinstall windows once it is in the new computer, you can't usually just move the hard drive from one computer to another and have windows continue working. If you are looking to save money, dropping to an i3-3220, Radeon 7850 1gb, and a cheaper power supply like the Corsair Builder 430 watt will give you still pretty good performance for less $$.
