So this is my first time building a computer from scratch. I put together a list of parts that I think will all work together and will result in a pretty decent computer. I just need some advice as to whether or not all these parts will work together. I also have some concerns for them. My budget is keeping it around or below $1000.
I want this computer to be used for gaming, and development (since I'm a comp sci major), and then just basic computer usage (internet, etc..)

I read in some reviews for the CPU that the heatsink that comes with it is a joke. Is this something that I need to replace with a better quality one? I don't plan on overclocking my computer, I just want to be able to run the newest games at high (not even max) settings.
The memory I have chosen also isn't on the list of supported memory for the motherboard. My chosen memory's model number is F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL. The motherboard does support model F3-12800CL9D-4GBECO. This is going to sound like a dumb question, but is this going to be an issue?
Thanks for all your help.
