Build plan: http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/r78DRB (I didn't include the OS but yes it's windows 10)

 

I don't really have any experience I have just watched lots of Linus's videos.  

 

I want for this to be a mostly silent gaming PC and for it to have enough power to render VR. I have considered over clocking but I'm not probably going to do it right away.

My original budget was around 1500€ but it has gone a bit over already. 

 

Any tips or ideas?

Do I have parts that are not compatible?

Do I have useless parts (like too many fans)?

 

My national language isn't English so I'm sorry for any mistakes.

 

EDIT: I changed the ram

Why are you getting cheap ram but an expensive motherboard?

 

 

That PSU is shit

 

(There is more)

Is there a difference between my CSM450 that's been cruising right along just fine and the CX series?

Spoiler

Q: Do I have a virus?!
A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not.

 

Q: What email/VPN should I use?
A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way)

 

Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???....

A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself.

 

Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z?

A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself.

 

Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error?

A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me.

So i should get better ram and a better PSU. Any recommendations. 

For the PSU, an EVGA SuperNOVA is a good choice.

I would get a cheaper Z107 motherboard (Around $100-$115), since motherboards do not effect performance much.

I would get ram that doesn't look nasty and looks nice. But ram doesn't effect performance much.

If you're having an issue with the budget drop the Skylake and get a 4690k. That wireless adapter is garbage. I made that exact same mistake and had to buy a Asus AC adaptor a week later. Now I'm out the $30 I paid for the first POS.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

Sorry but what mistake are you referring to.

I bought the exact same wireless adapter, the wireless adapter in my ten year old Laptop my PC replaced was better. It had no range at all. IF you get a signal is slow, very slow.

If anyone asks you never saw me.
