Hello fellow tech tippers. I'm currently in the process of ascending to the glorious heaven of PC gaming but I have a few questions to ask first.

 

Will a 500W EVGA PSU support this build?

 

Is my motherboard compatible with all the parts?

 

Will a Hyper 212 Evo fit in this case?

Thank you lads!

I'm running I7-3770 and GTX 970 on a 500 watt, and it can supply enough power, although I wouldn't recommend 500 watt as PSU because it is running at relatively high load.

I am conducting some polls regarding your opinion of large technology companies. I would appreciate your response.

The cooler will fit. If you go to Scan it will tell you the max dimensions of the case. The max CPU cooler height is 185mm in that case, the evo 212 is 159mm so it will fit. As for the rest of your build everything is fine. PcPartPicker usually tells you if it's incompatible and it shows you estimated wattage in the top right (under overview). The only thing I would recommend you to add to the list is an SSD with a minimum of 120GB for your OS.

It will work, but that's highly unbalanced. If you can afford a 4690K and a GTX 970, don't cheap out on the PSU, get something better quality.
