Are these compatable

[Msuni]

Are these compatible. MSI Z370-A PRO, I7-8700K and the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. I'm a PC noob if you couldn't tell.  

 

[germgoatz]

Yes

[Lurick]

Yah although I would suggest a different cooler. Depending on your budget you could look at the beQuiet Dark Rock 3 or something similar. The 212 EVO is okay and will keep the CPU cool at stock speeds but if you overclock then it's going to be very toasty.

[Oshino Shinobu]

Yes, they're all compatible.

Ok thanks all for the fast replies. Another question.... i currently have the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M case would these components fit in that case??

Last question i just thought of. I currently have the Kolink 600w PSU, should I upgrade it?

It is compatible with everything else, but yeah, you should upgrade it for something that's better quality. 

 

An EVGA G2/G3 650w would fit the other components well and would run basically any single GPU system fine.

High end components and a low end PSU is a BAD idea. Have a look at the PSU tier list in the "cases and power supplies"-category on this forum.

Although the wattage should be fine, I would definitely reccomend going with a more reputable brand, such as EVGA or Corsair

Don't go for brand, go for individual units. Both Corsair and EVGA have some terrible PSUs available and they don't actually make any of them.

Both the EVGA G2/G3 and Corsair RMi/RMx are excellent units that tend to be at a good price.

 

For good value units, the Corsair CXM (Grey label, not green ones) series can't really be beat.

It's also worth looking through the PSU tier list to see if one of them is on offer or at a good price. 

 

Tier 3 and up is what you should be aiming for really. With an 8700K and similarly high end components, it's not worth skimping on the PSU.

So should I upgrade the psu before the motherboard and CPU?

Also, I will check the list out. Thank you!!

So would the EVGA 600 W1 be a good choice?

No, the W1 series is terrible (hence the tier 6 rating in the list).

The PSU is something you should upgrade, but it's not an absolute necessity, so there's no requirement to upgrade it first.
