Need help with compatibility :D

spazattack23 · Nov 21, 2013

Hey guys, I have always been an xbox gamer and recently have wanted to get into pc gaming. I'm looking into building a rig and know somewhat about hardware but could use some help before blowing money, I just need to know if what I have picked is compatible and what else I should buy that would be compatible. I am currently looking at a:
--Corsair Obsidian 350d mATX (Case)
--ASUS MAXIMUS VI GENE LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard (Motherboard)
--Vengeance 4GB dual channel DDR3 memory (Ram)
--AX760 ATX (PSU)

So now I need to choose a CPU and GPU, I'm looking to spend around 150-200$ per item. I like to game but don't need the HIGHEST end graphics card..

thanks guys!

You have the 1150 socket so in that price range this is a good option as long as you don't plan to OC http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116896

As for GPU its what you need to make sure not to slack on if you want to game. I suggest this:

Everything should be compatible.

Just be aware, the Corsair AX 760i with the GA-Z87X-OC and GA-Z87X-OC FORCE are incompatible.

I quickly realized that... løl.

There's no need to get a motherboard that expensive.

You could give us your budget and we could come up with a recommendation for a whole build?

AwesomeFX :

Which parts? you said corsair are you talking about gpu and psu?

Moonsfang :

The PSU and the two Mobos

Look down the page, the post by Dino22, it's an official fix from Gigabyte to make the PSU compatible with the mobos. It's a resistor that causes it

I popped that damn graphite micro resistor myself and fixed it

Moonsfang :

But that AMD Radeon chipset isn't compatible with my intel motherboard right?

JOOK-D :

Yeah I was just looking at that motherboard because it had the color scheme that I wanted and also had plenty of ports, if you can find a motherboard that is intel and red/black color scheme for cheap that'd be great. I only plan on one PCIe slot and I want 4 DDR3 ram slots, besides that i think that's it. As far as budget goes, I'd like to keep the whole build under 1,000$

AMD Graphics Cards do work with intel boards just fine.
