Is this a good build? This is my first time building and i don't want to have any incompatibility issues.

Will there be any issues with this build? Incompatibilities or poor parts?
I may be using a spare gt 630 for a little while before i get the 7870. Not sure if that info is useful.

No compatability issues I can see. Looks like a good selection of parts.

My only suggestion is change the DDR3 2133 RAM to 1866 kit or even a low CAS 1600 kit if it saves you a few bucks.

If you're going to OC that FX 6300, get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler or better. On a recent FX 6300 build we got 4.4GHz out of it and the CM 212 EVO kept the CPU around 55-56c under full load. It's a good match for this CPU. (YMMV OFC)

If you're going to OC that FX 6300, get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler or better. On a recent FX 6300 build we got 4.4GHz out of it with a tiny voltage bump and the CM 212 EVO kept the CPU around 55-56c under full load. It's a good match for this CPU. (YMMV OFC)

Thanks for the reply!

That RAM was some of the cheapest i could find that was 2x4GB, so downgrading wouldn't save me all that much money. Then again prices fluctuate so rapidly that it's hard to tell.

Also, i don't really plan on over clocking anytime soon, so i think i'll be fine not getting an after market cooler and saving some money. But that doesn't mean i'm ruling out getting an after market cooler.
