My first pc build!

Cybernetic Organism · May 18, 2016

Just would like to ask if my chosen Computer specs are all fully compatible and okay. I don't really want any different components as this hits my budget. Would it also be good for gaming?

Motherboard - MSI Z97 PC Mate Intel LGA1150 Z97 ATX Motherboard (4x DDR3, 4x USB3.0, 8x USB2.0, GBE, LAN, HDMI, VGA, DVI)

CPU - Intel Core i5 4690K Processor (3.5 GHz, 6 MB Cache, LGA1150 Socket)

Graphics card - MSI Nvidia Gtx 960 Gaming Graphics Card 4gb

Ram - Corsair CMY16GX3M2A2400C11R Vengeance Pro Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 2400Mhz CL11 XMP Performance Desktop Memory Kit

I would also like to know if a 600w power supply is enough for this.

Aerocool Integrator 600 W 12 cm Power Supply Unit - Black

Thank you for your time!

Budget?

Dont forget the cpu cooler if you're planning on doing overclocking

What's your budget? And it would help if you made your list on pcpartpicker.com, which will organize the parts list.

this is pretty important. It does seem like you're overclocking, and the intel stock fan would loud and terrible for overclocking.

i don't know what you're using this computer for, but maybe you could settle for 8gbs of ram and spend the extra $30 on a cooler?

also, for /gaming/ you'd want to put your dosh into the GPU. If you want to overclock, a 4590k would be fine and you give a extra $40 bucks, then if you look at EVGA b-stock or used GPUs you might be able to grab a 970. I know you said you don't want other parts, so this is really up to you to think about and then decide. a 4690k is great, and a 960 isn't bad for a starter, just in a starting build you're probably better off going nice GPU since CPU won't really effect gaming much. (again, if you're intending to do something else like editing or photoshop the situation may be a bit different.)
