First pc build

Hello, this is my first attempt at building a pc. It will be used for gaming/web browsing. I honestly don't know much about pc's and current parts although I've spent the last couple of days researching. I'm not planning on overclocking It ( unless I really should?) I plan on building as soon as have all parts decided upon. Don't live anywhere near a microcenter so I'll be getting all my parts from newegg. I browsed around and picked a few while trying to stay within the 800-900 range.

I'd really like to know if these are comatible/ good choices. Feelfree to critique and recommend other parts.

P.s. Not looking for os or peripherals. Thanks!

In your OP you say you don't know much about PCs.

Have you done any kind of basic repairs or upgrades before? (Swapping out a video card or power supply, adding a new hard drive, etc.) If not, do you know anyone with experience who would be willing to look over your shoulder while you put it together?

It's not that the process is particularly difficult, but if you hit the power button and nothing happens, your stomach can sink pretty fast.
 
I can perhaps save a little time here. OP, take the list from this thread, drop the SSD, and enjoy the optimized build that's within your budget.
