Compatibility Check before Ordering Parts

[waynedud3]

I have verified measurements and believe everything will fit well in the Core500 Case, but for reference here is the part list. If there is anything that needs changing please let me know as I am ordering it today.

 

Thanks!

are you really spending this amount of money?. the cpu is gonna bottleneck you. Can I fix up your build please, and give me a budget

[NTDaws]

I don't want people to regret what they build ya know?

[xephoneration]

Looks good. The only thing I would suggest is to get the key off of kinguin or /r/microsoftwareswap which will cost you like $25 and you do not need the cpu cooler for that since it comes with a stock one.

Wait, how? I would like to keep the current system configuration with storage. Is there a trick to this?

1080p, I think 6600k and 1060 will be good.

Updated the parts list. 6600k and EVGA 1060. Went for a smaller card for easier cable management. One thing I am worried about is the cables from the back of the PSU. Fractal doesn't recommend PSU's larger than 160MM in length and this one is exactly 160MM. It should be fine, but don't want a build to fail randomly.

This is a bit over the budget, and doesn't include windows. I am probably going to go with a 6600k and GTX1060.

Yeah that would make more sense if you just play at 1080p. But do you like the rest of the build?

Rest of the build is great! I ordered the parts today. Just got a plain 6600 or 6500 and a GTX1060.
