Not trying to bump my thread, but I have gone back and edited since I first posted. I belive everything is compatable. And I took some suggestions to upgrade a little. If anyone else has suggestions it would be appreciated. the total is at 750 tho I dont want to go to much over 800 if possible. Looking forward to your suggestions

by the looks of it everything looks good but look in computer specs 101. it has a better setup for $600-$700.
