I'm not a hardcore gamer, but do occasionally play pc games. Would like to play games like MW3 on this build. Also will watch a lot of Hi Def videos. My budget is $800 and this build will be right under that. I'm not a pc expert by any means, but know enough to get by. Let me know what you guys think. Is there anything that you guys think will be incompatible with these parts? TIA.

There are applications that use 6 threads or more. IIRC, CAD does, as does many editing programs.

For Gaming, BF3 and FS11 are the only ones to use more than 4 threads. You will be fine with a quad core.
 
What Wolfeking said. And the benefits for BF3 are very minimal. I would recommend a 960t. I have one and its great.
