First PC Build

[AHappyMoooCow]

I am building my first ever PC and I have a parts list picked out. My Budget is £1.55K GBP and I am going for a 1080 and a i5 6600k but I am having a few problems finding ram that will fit. At the moment I just want an 1x8 GB kit and will be upgrading after Christmas when I will have more money. I anyone is willing to help me find ram that will fit with the cooller and/or compatibility check the parts I have pick then I would be extremely grateful. Also any tips or suggestions on the parts I have picked would be greatly appreciated.

I scaled down the 500gb 850 evo ssd to 256gb 960 nvme, you'll get x5 the speed.

skip sata drive if you can, this is 2017, move on to M2 nvme drive. 500mbps vs 3000mbps.

 

For secondary drive, i scaled up 1tb hdd to 3tb hdd. total you get 3.256 gb.

plus you get 8gb memory included.

try Kingston hyperX fury, comes in lots of colors, speeds, sizes and is not high profile
