First computer build
Hello,
Ive never built a computer before but plan on giving it a try. I think Ill be able to handle the mechanical part OK, but the setup part I'm not 100% clear on. Not sure about setting up the eif bios. Heres a list of parts so far.

Questions:
1. Do all these parts play well together?
2. I don't plan on overclocking because I don't know how. If I decide to in the future can I? I know Ill need a cooler if I do.
3. Any bios help. A tutorial or video to check out.
The case I want isn't available until the end of August so I have some time to iron everything out.
Thanks
