First time build, need suggestions/nod of approval regarding compatibility

[madatar]

I put in a quite a bit of research into this, but it is my first full computer project. I attempted to insure everything was compatible, but I am worrisome that I made some mistakes. I would also be open to suggestions for improvements. I originally was going to go with newegg, but I get free shipping with amazon which is why almost all the links will be going to amazon.

My budget is around 800 dollars, I really wouldn't prefer to go over.

Motherboard:

Power Supply

DVD Drive

I will never over-clock anything in my computer, so I'm hoping my factory fans will be enough.

I already have a moniter, so no need for that, I do not know the exact specs; if I had to estimate it would be around 27-30 inches.

I will also need to buy a new OS since its a complete build, the whole OEM thing scares me, especially if I have to replace parts.


I'm doing this upgrade to make a more suitable gaming computer in lieu of buying one of the next-gen consoles, and I didn't plan to make any purchases until I had it looked over by someone more experienced than myself.


Thank you in advance for any help or insight you could provide.

looks good! mother board is a check, take not however that is the 970 chipset not the 990, main difference being no SLI support, so unless you plan on getting two graphics cards in the future this should be fine, and Asus has wonderful customer service, i have experience with an RMA with them, it was a thing of beauty, however have you considered an fx-6300? for just a tiny bit more and much more performance? http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FX-6300-Six-Core-Processor-FD6300WMHKBOX/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1372757994&sr=1-3&keywords=AMD+FX-4350 also if you could atleast the 4350, and if you could 6350. other than that, it is all compatable and you will have a working machine

also i would consider getting a gtx 560 ti instead of a 650 for a small price difference there is a very large performance difference http://www.amazon.com/GeForce-GTX-560-Ti-DisplayPort/dp/B00CI7FWJM/ref=sr_1_13?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1372758203&sr=1-13&keywords=gtx+560 here are some benchmark comparisons http://www.hwcompare.com/13488/geforce-gtx-560-ti-vs-geforce-gtx-650/
