First build help and recommendations

Alturbo · November 28, 2014

This is my first build but i do not know if the parts will work.

AMD Athlon X4 860K 3.7GHz Quad-Core Processor

Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

ASRock FM2A88X-ITX+ Mini ITX FM2+ Motherboard

Mushkin Blackline 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Corsair Force LS 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Corsair 250D Mini ITX Tower Case

Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

I already have a r9 270 but i could sell it or use it in another build

If these parts are incompatible or someone has a better idea for a gaming build for 700$ or less please reply. Thanks in Advance!

This looks like it should all work just fine together and if you can fit it in the r9 270 should work also

First off, If you only are gaming and watching youtube and not having more than 16-28 tabs at the same time you wont have much use for 16 GB RAM.

I think you should go with this, This is almost Twice the CPU performance in games And if you feel like it you can overclock.

It is a close to pure black theme so it will go with almost anything.

But this is in a ATX formfactor, If you want a m-ITX formfactor you would be better off with intel.
