Default suggestions, opinions, compatibility issues... all wanted here

I will be building a pc finally after wanting to for years. Does anyone
have any suggestions or notice any compatibility issues in the following
setup?? I'm not a gamer, however would rather spend a little now, than have
to upgrade 6 months down the line, and also have room for upgrading when the
need arises. I will shop around for the listed hardware for best prices
before i start buying, this is just an idea of what I'm shooting for. Or if
you have any better ideas for close to the same cashola, please advise.

TIA!
Sam
