As the title says, this is my first time building a computer. First off, I need to know if all of these parts are compatible. If so, can you think of anything that would be better and fit in my price range? I'd like to keep it under $750. Thanks!

Never heard of any heating problems of it, XFX are a good manufacturer and are great for overclocking.
Probably the most reliable one would be the sapphire model, but thats 10$ more.

I was just looking at the reviews on Newegg and a few people said it had some problems. I appreciate the help though.

That GPU seems to have some overheating problems. Any alternatives?
