This is it. Will it work?

[Gregz The Great]

This is it.

After a lot of research, I am coming to the end of the planning stage regarding my new gaming PC.

However, there are still some queries that must be cleared up before proceeding, as I wish to be absolutely certain in what I'm doing, and what I'm buying. Preparation is key.

I don't feel ready to spend any money at all yet as I don't know what I'd be getting myself into. I want to make sure that when each part arrives, I'll know from step 1 that everything is compatible, and that I know exactly what to do.

I have come up with a likely build on Pcpartpicker, do you think this would work? Are all the parts compatible? Do you think my choice of parts are of good quality, or are their areas of which I could improve? Perhaps to save cost or, notify me of a more adequate piece of hardware that I am unaware of?

PLEASE NOTE:

I am aware there isn't a power supply or graphics card present in that list, this is because I already own a Geforce GTX 780ti WINDFORCE edition GPU and a CS750M Corsair PSU. Are these parts ALSO compatible with the build? Will the wires connect properly, do I have the correct wires and connections? I am unaware of how to find out.

Here are the questions I need to find the answers to:

1. How do you install the operating system onto the SSD specifically for faster booting times + how to install any games on the SSD specifically afterward? Following that point, how do you manage both the SSD space and HDD space, using the Hard drive for file storage, the SSD for games and such.
Where will their icons appear on the computer? How can I acces them specifically and how can I manage what files go where? I mostly want normal files in the giant HDD storage, and games + operating system and other programs I want to run fast on the SSD.

In short, how do I setup my operating system to start on the SSD drive as opposed to the hard drive, and how would I go about installing games to the SSD as well?

2. How do I ensure everything is compatible? Such as "will the graphics card fit in that motherboard, is the card long enough? Do I have enough connections to the motherboard from the power supply" etc.

3.How can I find out if my power supply is powerful enough to power all of my components?

4. Is there a good "go to" tutorial on how to install the "H100i liquid cooling system" from Corsair? I am unable to find a clear video as of yet. I am worried about it's installation, and I hope to make it as easy as possible.

5. I need to know the specifics. Does my motherboard support specific RAM memory (1866 in my case)? I am also aware my motherboard is "1150" is this compatible with my other parts? Are there any other specifics I am missing that could be of use to me?

6. Finally, warrenty. Let's say something is faulty upon arrival, or I find something doesn't fit or... something breaks or... something is simply wrong with a specific component. How would I go about sending it back for a full refund, with as little hassle as possible? Is it even possible to send it back like that? I want to ensure that when I am building the computer in my room, I am absolutely ready for anything, and that any problems can be rectified easily and efficiently.


I know there are a lot of questions, and I know they ramble on for a while, but due to my lack of knowledge, I am unable to specify. I do hope I can get my final piece of help from here, as this is the final step required to go onto the purchasing stage. I want to ensure everything goes smoothly and I don't regret any decisions or find out a critical error while in the middle of constructing the build.

Thank you.

2.Of course the GPU will fit,it uses PCI.The problem you could put yourself would be if it fits the case,but it's not your case,you're fine.The power supply is fine.

3.Here you go : http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

But don't worry,750W is plenty.

5.You will have to enable custom RAM profiles in BIOS,but yes it will work. LGA 1150 represents the CPU socket,which is Haswell's CPU socket so it is fine.

6.Isolate the problem,and find exactly what's faulty.Then just RMA the defective part.It will take a while,and you won't have the PC working unless you've got extra stuff lying around.

1. Install the OS like you would install it in the HDD but at the start of the installation select your SSD drive for games just change the directory install path when installing it, programs do that too
2. GPU will definitely fit and the cable will reach you can put the cable on the other side of the motherboard for management
3. It is enough, your main build is 212W and 780Ti isnt that power hungry unlike TITANS
4. Just screw it in the right places, its a closed circulation so you dont have to worry about changing the liquids and stuff
5. Your mobo supports up to DDR3-3000 so chill... and the 1150 is the cpu socket and your cpu use the 1150 socket just make sure you match the triangle when putting it in
6. You can send them back, newegg, and amazon and so other pc part shop accept returns for the cause of DOA not mishandling. Just contact the seller and they'll guide you

P.S And Side NOTE: PcPartPicker uses a compatibility filter so if you have an AMD Motherboard and want to have Intel, it doesnt appear on the cpu list. only the things that are compatible
