Hi!

First time builder here, and I've selected all of my parts to use

I would just like a approval from a few people that everything will work together!

I know that the power supply is missing and I would appreciate help calculating how much i need

if i'm missing more parts or something wont work together, please let me know

also I plan on overclocking and don't want ANY bottlenecking

NZXT S340 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Case

 
And i already have the optical drive and HDD 
thanks!
 
P.S. Gaming computer fallout 4, gta 5, expected to run at 1080p 60fps, capable?

You can't use a 4690k on a Z170 motherboard... You need a Z97 for the 4690k or a i5 6600k for the Z170. Also 380 instead of 960.

R9 380 is 15% faster

You can't use a 4690K with a Z170 board

You need a Power Supply

Hey there, welcome to the forum! :)

 

Can I ask what budget (and currency) you have in mind currently?

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Comparing my orginal build to this one, what exactly did you change to fit the 300 dollar graphics card in?

and will i still need the fans and the parts in the first one? If I stick to what I have, what will I get instead?

Would it be possible to just change the r390 and keep everything the same?

 

You can, but Fallout 4 wouldn't run well on a R9 380, especially in demanding areas.

Look into the sapphire 390. I heard they make the best ones.
