Hardware compatibility with new parts

virtualwellz · Apr 12, 2014

I'm buying new RAM and a PC case. I like to know if these parts will fit and not have any known problems working together. I have checked myself but I'm just trying to avoid human error.
Link to the list:

also the GPU is a 'VTX3D HD 7850 X-Edition 2GB'.

Any extra tips or advice would be appreciated, thank you.

It should fit since most of the time, pcpartpicker will tell you and the case is very good

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3qAGZ I did switch the ram to a discounted one that is way better.

Every thing is compatible, nice case btw

In the near future you might want to change the PSU. Corsair's CX units use low quality capacitors and will heat up and wear down sooner than later
There is much better option, for the same price you could have bought much better quality PSU, like this one :

Thanks for your reply however its partly because of that site that I chose that ram. It shows this as a warning:

'Kingston Beast 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Ivy Bridge CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.'

Thanks for the reply. The parts are from a first build that, at the time, I didn't know very much and I still don't know much about some things including PSUs. I assume what can happen when a PSU fails it can damage some of the other components right?

It might damage every single component. Always choose good quality PSU, it is one of the most important parts of the system

After some consideration I have decided to buy a new PSU and RAM the case was for easy cleaning however I dont want to be spending £200 atm. I'll probably get the same RAM as I said earlier but a different PSU thats modular.

Everything is compatibel,but you chose a B75 motherboard with a "K" series cpu,with the last can you overclock,with the first you can't.
Is there a wish to overclock?
Can you still change the motherboard? Or cpu,but that difference isn't that big=~£22

The psu will be fine,it has a three year warranty for when it gives problems.
The bad caps thing get's a little over the top imo
The overheating also depends on the airflow it get's,a bottom mounted psu on a carpet would get much less or no fresh air in for instance or a top mounted psu would draw warm air in from the components,if yours is a bottom mounted psu in a decent case which has enough space under it should it be fine.

I would really like to see examples of these problems since everybody talks about them.I can't find them.
