Okay a friend helped me choose all these parts and we just wanted to get a second opinion! What do y'all think? Everything work together? I'm also completely new to this whole experience.

It all depends on your needs. Luckily, you've come to the right place.

Here are a few questions for you:
What is this build for?
Where are you from? If in the US, is there a Microcenter nearby?
What is your budget?
Do you need an OS (Windows)?
Do you have a monitor? If so, what is the resolution of it? If not, what is your budget for one?

Thanks.

This bulid is for gaming but not extreme gaming. Also for general college use haha. Yeah im in the US but im in a backwoods city with only a bestbuy and a radioshack. I want to stick as close to 1k as possible. Ive got an OS, windows 7 pro. I have a 22 inch 1080p tv im going to use with it. HDMI connection

This would be my pick. Well rounded and has an SSD. Power supply is also excellent.

If you want to overclock I can always switch things around.

Technically yes, but a Z87 motherboard is a waste on a locked CPU and the PSU isn't very reputable.
