I was making a list of hardware to make a new computer and this would be my first time trying. Do all the parts on this list work?? Any advice on putting these parts together?

Well they will all work at first glance(broken links there by the way) but there are a couple of improvements that could be made. The gfx card is PCI but im sure that mobo has PCI-E which is not only much much better but allows you to choose a greater range of more appropriate cards(the one you picked is not really for the home user). The ram you want to buy in a matched pair not two seperate sticks, it usually works out faster and you can run the ram dual channel that way so it is significantly faster.
I couldnt see a core type there for the CPU yo want a venice core. And the PSU is a little overboard you will only need a 500W at the most, a 400W would be able to run the system quite happily.
