So I've been doing research the past 3-4 weeks and I'm going ahead with building my first computer on my own. After reading up on it extensively, it's a lot less intimidating than I originally thought!

Anyways, before I start buying things (though I already bought the PSU), I wanted to make sure I didn't have any compatibility issues. I think I'm okay but just wanted to make sure there was anything I was missing, because it's definitley possible.

This ram would be more suitable.

That motherboard is "Out of Stock" at Newegg. Here are a few alternatives.
