Hi, building my first computer and being very nervous i would like to know a few thing about these parts i’ve put together.


1. Are they all compatible? I’m a little nervous that i might not have a big enough power supply, or to few connectors on my motherboard or you know anything that needs to be changed.


2. Is this enough cooling, I’m not going to do any overclocking.


3. Of course anything that is wrong or might become a problem...


4. And general thoughts on this build. :)

The RAM you picked is DDR3 this board only supports DDR3

Is this a gaming build? If so don't get the i7 and get a i5 6600K and a better GPU, maybe a R9 390x or 980ti.

Don't get a CX750 get a GS/G2/S12 power supply.

While being semi nervous is understandable, be calm. You have the LTT community to help you out here. You can feel safe knowing we will help! So DEEP BREATH, lets do this.

 

 

With the Z170 boards you have to use DDR4 or DDR3L memory. So your memory is not compatible from what i see there.

Get a different Power Supply. The CX series is for casual use and not for Gaming. Check my GUIDES section of my sig for a PSU buying guide.

 

Everything else looks good. Cooling is important and you got that covered.

Have a nice day!

if you are not going to overclock get a H170 Motherboard from Asus, CPU cooler is fine, Also choose graphics card from Asus or MSI, get Gtx 970 or amd R9 390,

another thing is that some 6th gen motherboards support ddr3 ram but intel warns that it will decrease the lifetime of product, so its better you use DDR4 ram,

for power supple, you can bring it down to 600 or 650w no need for 750W

other than that its pretty good
