I was wondering if someone could look at my PC Specs I'm saving up for as I want to know if everything is going to fit in the case.

╠► CPU : Intel Core i7-8700k (3.7Ghz) LGA1151 £255

╠► Mother Board : ASUS H110M-K £59.95

╠► RAM : Corsair Value Select Memory 16GB 2133 MHZ Dual Channel £120.49

╠► GPU : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X £440

╠► PSU : Thermaltake Smart SE Modular 530W 80+ Certified £52.81

╠► HDD : Seagate Baracuda 1 TB £36.32

╠► SSD : Samsung SSD 120 GB £29.97

╠► WINDOWS 10 x64 Anniversary Edition £19.99

╠► Casing : Thermaltalke C22 Black Edition £59.99

╠► CaseFans : £13.47

╠► 1 Thermaltake Ring 12 140mm £21.95

TOTAL - £1,109.94

 

Hopefully everything will fit and hopefully someone could reply saying whether everything will fit or not.

That should all work. I would get a Corsair CX550M instead of the Thermaltake PSU that you have listed there, though.

Motherboard is not compatible, motherboard is a bad match for the CPU, get a better PSU.

Yep.

 

EDIT: as @LienusLateTips said, your motherboard and CPU are incompatible. I missed that in your original post, you'll want a Z370 board.

Everything is not fine.  That MB will not work with the CPU you have chosen.

@Crunchy Dragon Is this the right Motherboard? There are a whole load of options to pick from and I don't know which one would be better for my system. It's an MSI Z370 GAMING PLUS LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

That's a good motherboard.

 

Try using uk.pcpartpicker.com, it comes with ratings, and will check for you to see if your parts are compatible. It also checks for the cheapest price across all the major UK stores.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep that in mind next time I look for PC parts. :)

Ive not used any boards for the Z370 platform but that would likely be fine.

 

Here is a Gigabyte model that is a bit cheaper.

That appears to be a 4+2.

@Crunchy Dragon Will the new Motherboard (MSI Z370 GAMING PLUS LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard) be able to fit the Intel Core i7-8700k (3.7Ghz) LGA1151 onto it?

Also thanks for all of the support you have given guys!

Which will be fine.  I don t think the user is going to be aiming for a 5ghz+ OC.

 

With a decent air cooler they will likely be able to run with "all core turbo" or other similar setting turned on.

Yes. Z370, H370, B360, and H310 would all work, though only Z370 boards allow for OCing.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
