I don't see any compatibility issues. You already bought almost everything, so the Sandy Bridge option is out. You didn't mention your monitor, what resolution do you game at? Most likely this whole system is overkill - you could game with an i5-760 on a P55 board with a smaller PSU and less ram and saved a LOT of money - but if that's what you want......
