Hello everyone of the Tek Syndicate Forums!
I am semi-new to the wonderful world of PC gaming and I need help with building my first gaming computer. I have already put together a part list using pcpartpicker, but I don’t know if the parts will be compatible and work well together. Here is the list:

I do not have a graphics card because I am going to be waiting for the new AMD Radeon R9 280x. It is said to cost $300 so the actual total will be $717.
Some things that might be helpful for you guys/girls are that it is going to be used for gaming so it needs to be powerful but also affordable so with that said my budget is $750 at the most with a little wiggle room, but not too much.
Thank you so much for reading this and I hope you have great feedback for me.
