(Updated) Will these parts fit together? (still new to this site)

ThatVikingMoose · Dec 4, 2013

I have updated my "shopping cart" and here is what I have. I would like to know if these parts will fit together and even fit in the case. Also one thing is that if you have any better possible deals I could get for each thing, and maybe a better deal for a better part. And Finally if these parts are any good for what I'm paying, and if there's any better parts that I can afford (Budget= 550-650) THANKS

That is a really badly configured build, as you will have a horrible bottleneck for your CPU by your GPU and RAM. I recommend getting an i5-4670k, GTX 760 2GB, and 8 GB of RAM. Try pcpartpicker.com next time, as your motherboard isn't even compatible with your CPU.

Thanks! But I still have some question.
1) does pcpartpicker.com tell if the parts are compatible?
2) what kind of ram should I be getting?
3) what kind of motherboard should I be getting?
Thanks and it helps a lot for my first PC build, mostly because I would like this to be a well working computer.

ThatVikingMoose :

1. pcpartpicker.com is one step ahead of you

it automatically filters out un-compatible parts eg. you choose an i5-4670k, it will filter out all amd motherboards, all non-lga 1150 motherboards, etc. until it reaches 100% compatability

2. I recommend Corsair Vengance Pro/Dominator Platinum if you have the money. Also, for gaming, 8 GB (2x4Gb) is enough. My recommend speeds and timings are: DDR3-1600 or 1866 at CAS of 9.

3. I recommend a motherboard by either AsRock, Asus (The sabertooth and maximus vi series are the best, but not for your budget range, sadly), Gigabyte (Sniper series only), or MSi (Gaming Series or MPower).

I would recommend switching RAM to Corsair or G. Skill Sniper's. I would also get a better GPU to prevent bottlenecking.

Just asking what is a GPU?

0.0 wow... A GPU is the Graphics Card. I recommend at least a GTX 660 Ti or GTX 760. Do NOT get the reference designs. They are just awful in temperature. What's your budget for the GPU?

$100-120 maybe, trying to keep this build not to costly, because I am not really in the position to get a high-priced PC.

I will recommend changing the CPU cooler to a Hyper 212 EVO but that's pretty much it.

ThatVikingMoose · Dec 16, 2013

Nuclear101 :

And is it necessary to get some storage?

Nuclear101 · Dec 16, 2013

ThatVikingMoose :

Oh whoops

totally missed that. I recommend a 120 GB Samsung 840 EVO with a WD Caviar Blue 1-2TB. For light to medium video editing, 1Tb is enough, for heavy video storage, use 2Tb.

ThatVikingMoose · Dec 16, 2013

Nuclear101 :

Um, on partpicker, what exactly is it that I should be searching to find this? Can't seem to find it, sorry.

wait one last thing is that memory (120 gb) enough? Because I do some Medium video editing and stuff and use fraps and such.

So how big are your videos, as now you need to purchase a 1-2TB WD Caviar (Black is highly recommended but blue can work) (Add green drives for less used videos)
