This is my first PC gaming that i'm going to build. I think i have found some good components that meet my price range and to what I know it should be all fine. But just so I don't buy something thats not compatible or something I'd like to ask here for any of the communities help/tips. Here is my list.   https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Wrenn/saved/JtXjXL  At the bottom it says some problems with compatibility but I'm not sure what it means exactly. I appreciate your time for reading this. Thanks

if you use one of the m.2 slots, one sata port will not be usuable.

for your build:

NVME doesn't do anything for gaming, get a cheaper sata ssd instead.

cryorig M9i/raijintek aidos are cheaper and performs just as well.

the Asrock Z270 killer SLI/AC has built-in AC wifi for a similar price.

Don't buy right now. GPUs are horrendously overpriced. Unless you're willing to spend on a GTX 1080 or GTX 1080 Ti, which are overpriced but not like the GTX 1070, RX 580, RX 480, and so on that are absolutely fucking ridiculous.

Not only is this a terrible time to buy because of the ether bubble, but also because RX Vega launches in about three weeks and Volta should be coming in the next few months too. But if you absolutely want to build now, GTX 1080 have only gone up in price around 10% from the ether bubble (GDDR5X apparently really sucks for mining) and GTX 1080 Ti (too high of power consumption?) have only gone up around 5%. E.g., here is a reasonable deal on a 1080 Ti:

And a not awful deal on an open air 1080:
