Building a new PC and I am a first time builder. I picked out some parts and wondered if they would all be compatible. Parts are below:

CPU: i5 4670k
MoBo: Gigabyte H87-HD3
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz
Graphics: Gigabyte GTX 780 3GB

Also, if anyone could please suggest a budget price case that would fit these parts together, I would be very thankful!

You need the Z87 MB for ocing the k-version cpu, like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

If you are in USA, get this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Thank you for the quick reply. Actually, looking at it, I probably won't be overclocking so I can just get the locked version of the CPU. If I do that, would it be parts be suitable?

As for the case, I live in the UK so I couldnt find that case on Amazon. I typed it in and got this result instead, would this suffice?

The non-K version is fine, if you choose the case you may consider 1) can bottom mounted PSU 2) cable management 3) USB3.0. Like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B009AJ8FTA/?tag=pcp0f-21


Okay, thank you very much! I added that case to my basket on Amazon. I also added that Motherboard you recommended because it was on special offer on Amazon so it was only £10 more than the one I had originally picked which also means I can keep the unlocked processor.

Thanks again for the speedy reply
