Compatibility Check, 1500$ build

[PrgrammingGamerNS]

I have worked on this build for a long time and wanted to have further confirmation that all components in this build are compatible and if there are any space clearance issues.

All systems go. You could increase PSU power a tad, just so it's not working so hard and there's room for upgrade.

Everything is compatible but don't buy anything now. New processors from intel are coming out very soon. 

[HoiDaniel]

It's good.

 

BTW don't go 16gb ram, only 8 is needed

[PrgrammingGamerNS]

I plan to use the 16 as I do a lot more than just gaming. such as video editing and programming, level design, etc.

Seems good, but I don't agree with your motherboard and PSU choice. Keeping the rest the same, this is what I'd do:

I think i might keep the low powered psu to keep only until i need to upgrade and then i can upgrade some of the potato pc's around my house.

Thanks I'll put the motherboard into it but that power supply isn't too much of a leap up and I plan on sticking with windows 7 and dual booting windows 10. although I'm not actually buying windows 7 from the link i think ill get it from ncix.

Why dual boot?

Its more so the corsair CX series use pretty low quality components, you will get a much better PSU if you go for a EVGA or Seasonic PSU.

[PrgrammingGamerNS]

I haven't tried windows 10 yet so I plan to do that and stick with windows 7 for the most part in case of any compatibility issues and as I get used to windows 10.

Ahh ok then Ill switch I just needed a good enough reason.

[PrgrammingGamerNS]

Any other recommendations for power supplies that are available on ncix as I plan to use their pc build service.(Don't ask why, I just have to, not because I want to)

Is this an equivalent power supply(http://www.ncix.com/detail/corsair-cs550m-cs-modular-80-1d-91781.htm), to the   EVGA SuperNOVA GS 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply.

No. The EVGA G2 and GS units are some of the best available. Rosewill Capstone are also good for the price, or used to be but the new series is a bit more expensive. Remember, gold rating is about power efficiency, and we don't care about that. We care about great voltage regualtion, ripple suppression, power-on-spike-prevention, that kind of thing.

Ok I don't quite know how ncix's stock system works because it says that the item is currently available but they do not have stock. any approximation on the amount of days it would take them to get it if i ordered it.

[PrgrammingGamerNS]

How reliable is this power supply.
