Advice on Compatibility for New Custom PC

[alannm37]

Hi there,

This is my first post on Tomshardware.

I was looking in on building a new custom gaming PC and because I have never done this before, I have no knowledge about parts being able to work together. So below I will post the name and a link to each component and I would appreciate if someone could tell me if they are all compatible, and if not, a suitable alternative, thanks.

Get a 500w PSU from Antec, XFX, corsair, Seasonic.
Get a b75 motherboard

Thanks for the help. Is there anyway I could bump this up to high settings without spending a lot more? Like for example a better processor...?

Changing the processor will do nothing for game settings. You would only be able to get better settings by getting a better GPU.
