Hopefully this should be the last time I have to do this.

I kind of have to order everything from amazon, cause I have to use the amazon card.
So is this all compatible? Are there better parts you guys would recommend? I'd like to keep my budget around $500. It can wander a bit.

I'd like to be able to play ArmA 2 on higher settings on a smooth framrate, with a 1650x resolution (I only have a 1650x monitor), so about equal to Mathieu's tier .75 from Hardware Revolution. Maybe I should use Mathieu's tier .75 but replace the three parts that are only on newegg with amazon equivalents instead? Let me know what you think.

Also I haven't picked a case, cause I wouldn't know which one to pick. I'd like a simple case that doesn't have annoying and unnecessary lights.
