replace the 960 with a 380 and your good

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

The B85 is a 1150 socket and will not work with the 1151 skylake processor you picked.
You either need to get an I5 4k chip or change the motherboard and RAM as a 1151 board wont take dd3 ram.

Anything with an LGA 1150 socket. You don't need the z97 chipset, since you can't overclock your CPU. I recommend you use pcpartpicker.com to check the compatibility of all of your parts that you plan to use. It will also let you post lists that are a lot easier to read.
