Hi guys,

  Planning on building a PC in the next week or so, and before I order all the parts with the fantastic black friday deals (!), I just wanted to ensure everything was compatible.

CPU - Intel i7 4790k

Mo/bo - ASUS z97-a

G/Card - MSI GTX 980ti (1178Mhz)

RAM - Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) LP

CPU cooler - Dark Rock Pro 3

Case - be Quiet! Silent Base 800 (BLACK)

PSU - Corsair RM650 Gold 80+

Storage - Seagate 2TB SSHD

OS - Windows 10

Monitor - Acer XB270hu (PREDATOR) brpz

 

 

It'll cost a little under £2000, which is a lot, so I want to make sure everything will slot in nicely together. I know the issues with the Dark Rock Pro 3 being just about the beefiest cooler i can get (Silence is a big thing for me). 

 

If someone could just let me know if it'll all fit together and is all compatible.

 

Thanks in advance!

yes but why buy a k when you buy a cheap aircooler?

 

get a i5-4460 or a i5-4690 non K

Dark Rock Pro 3 isn't cheap?

You've severely misread something...

The dark rock pro is NOT a cheap aircooler. Or did you mean WHEN you can buy a cheap aircooler, in which case the answer is obvious. 

calm ur tits, i misread it

Rather than slate the first comment can we try and focus on the quality/compatibility of the build? xD
