So I'm working on putting together a desktop, and I want to make sure I don't have any compatibility issues, and that I'm not overlooking anything.

Here's the what I have put together. I'm mostly worried I've made some mistake with the cooling, or motherboard, as I'm a bit ignorant in those areas. Also, will I need a different power supply, or is the chosen one good enough?

You can't really make too many mistakes when using a customizing from a particular computer vendor.

Not looking to put it together yourself?
 
That was the original plan, and I was just going to use a vendor website to make sure I have everything I need, then just go order it all myself. I'm at a point where I work so many hours I don't really want to mess with it now, but I still haven't made a decision.
 
What power supply make/model is it? What case options do you have too? I'd go with 2x8GB RAM to make upgrading easier in the future.
 
The components specification is good and they are compatible also. I think you just forget to add Keyboard and a monitor.
Otherwise everything is ok.
