Compatibility Check

Xylonical

Ok. So I am looking to build my first custom PC. I have already purchased some of the parts for it, and just want to make sure everything is compatible. I know pcpartpicker does have a compatibility check however, its not 100% accurate. I just want to make sure I am going to be able to use these parts together. I have already bought the: CPU, SSD, HD, and Case. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/J39pQV

If things do need to change or if you have questions regarding what i'm looking for in terms of compatibilities message me and ill get back. I appreciate your help!

PCPP has you covered. It's compatible.

 

But why a $200 CAD cooler for a locked CPU? Ultimately a waste of money unless aesthetics is that big of a priority. Also, 850W is way overkill for a i7 6700 + GTX 1070 build.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

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

Spoiler

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K - 4.5 GHz | Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO | RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 | SSD: Samsung 850 EVO - 500GB | GPU: MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6GB | PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 | Case: NZXT Phantom 530 | Cooling: CRYORIG R1 Ultimate | Monitor: ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q | Peripherals: Corsair Vengeance K70 and Razer DeathAdder

I do know that the cooler is really overkill, however I am going more for the aesthetic than the functionality. Also the high watt power supply is there for when I upgrade in the future with different parts. That also ties in with the CPU and CPU cooler.

Everything is good just switch the cpu to a K version 

I will in the future. I have already bought the CPU for a low price. Thats why its not the overclockable one.

RMX do you perfect I was just saying if you  get a 700 watt in stead of a 850watt  

RMXi bit of better PSU it just a bit high in the Series of Corsair's PSU.

I am looking to add cable mods in the future so is it a modular PSU as well? or is it semi modular?
