I am about to build a new pc and need to know if these parts are all compatible...

and also please don't tell me to change anything unless it is not compatible because i have decided on these parts... i do intend on upgrading the cpu in the new year
THANKS :D
The parts that you chose are very unbalanced, you have bottlenecs all over the place, here is a list that i would recommend:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3470S
MOBO: Asus P8Z77-M Pro
MEM: G.Skill Sniper 8GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Seagate ST1000DM003
VIDEO: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card
POWER: Corsair CX750M
CASE: NZXT Phantom 410 (Red) ATX Mid Tower Case
DVD: Lite-On iHDS118-04 DVD/CD Drive
Beside that this system is more expensive, it will be better suited for your needs. And instead of upgrading a new CPU later you can upgrade to a second GPU for better performance. Also your CPU will be better suited for gaming and also will eventually use the same amound of power as the Pentium.

I've seen this build. Sure, they're compatible. Everything will work.
Doesn't mean that it'll work well for the money. It'll be pretty crappy tbh.
guys i don't have enough money to go with your option..:( but if i get some money after christmas could i then upgrade to an i5 cpu without any problems???
