i am making my own gaming computer and my biggest worry is that i will end up buying parts that arent compatible and the setup will be useless. this is what i have so far and the price is already a little steep, will this setup work, if not can i get some suggestions.

That motherboard and CPU are not compatible. You need a motherboard with an 1155 socket instead of that AM3+.

Also, if you plan on doing any overclocking to the CPU, you'll want the 2500K instead of the 2500. I think it's only 10 bucks more.
