First time builder -- wondering if everything is compatible?

Currently i'm running off a lower end gaming laptop, but recently I've been getting into 3D fx, modeling, editing etc. -- on top of wanting to play more intensive 3D games -- so I have an upgrade in mind (too bad the Canadian dollar is so low lol). 

 

My budget is ~$2500 Canadian (with shipping/tax), and I more or less have my parts picked out (although i'd be happy to hear recommendations for better products within similar price ranges) 

But more importantly because i'm a first time builder, it would be really, really nice if someone more experienced could quickly check over my build and make sure that all selected parts are compatible (I've tried to make sure everything works together but considering how much money is being invested in this comp I really want to be 100% sure.

Thanks!

Yes those are all compatible, but I would shy away from that PSU, perhaps look at the EVGA Supernova series, they are not too much more and far higher quality.
