I am building my first pc and I need your recommendations on my build. Also, I want to know if all of these parts are compatible with each other. Not looking to upgrade any parts in the future separately.

What will you be using this for? Cuz if it's mostly gaming you could go with a 6600k instead and upgrade your gpu to say an r9 390x. Also cooler is fine I have it and I oc my 6700k from 4 ghz to 4.6 fully stable. Haven't tried 4.7 yet :). Also unless boot speeds really matter to you don't get an ssd I have that hdd and my computer boots in 15 sec(after bios). If you need an i7 though get an r9 390 instead it's better than a GTX 970. I personally prefer MSI's.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
