Does this build i put together seem compatible? Suggestions?
I put this together and was wondering if anyone had any tweeks and if you think i would encounter any problems. it comes out to 599.74 but it also has a few rebates. I already have the optical drive,hard drive, os, mouse and keyboard.My intentions are to build the best gaming pc possible for under $600

I would recommend this. The 7850k is a quad core processor, and has 8 graphics cores. You can then pair it with the R7 250, which will work with the ram as well. In a nutshell, you have a dual graphics setup from the onboard and the gpu, and the GPU works with that ram as well. This is a solid gaming pc that is also overclockable if you choose.

I actually did end up making something more powerful. After seeing a benchmark, the i3 4330 with a 260x vs the 7850k with a 250, it gets whooped by it. So here is a much cheaper build that is upgradable in the future.
