First Build Compatibility Check

HoodedBee · Apr 27, 2014

Hello, I wondered if the parts for my pc were compatible. This is my first build :/

cpu: Intel Core i5-4670K
mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z87N-WIFI, Socket-1150
psu: Cooler Master G650M, 650W PSU
gpu: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 3GB PhysX CUDA
ram: Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 1600MHz 16GB
storage: Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB BK OEM
cpu cooler: Corsair H100i Hydro Series
case: Corsair Obsidian 250D Mini-ITX

Do you guy's think it's worth overclocking, or should I go for some cheaper parts, and drop the OC?

That case should work with everything, but i'd double check,
You will be getting another drive for storage? Because you'll run out of space for games fast. Everything else looks good. Unless that is 4 sticks of RAM. That mobo will only support 2. Also, that PCI slot seems awfully close to the RAM. Or it could be me, I like regular ATX mobos.

No I do not think it's worth it to overclock. Especially in a miniITX build. I would get a different psu. Something 80+ Bronze at least preferably by SeaSonic, Antec, XFX, Rosewill, or EVGA.

I check all the GA gtx780, only one can fit into the case, GV-N780D5-3GD-B 9 ( 282mm)http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4622#sp because the case can support max. GPU Length =290mm, all other GPU is 292mm.

Also on paper the G650M is enough to power the gtx780, but I can find any review on it, so you are better buy other good brand PSU like CTurbo said.
Antec HCG-620M, Corsair HX650, and SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze.

I checked the gpu, and it does fit lengthwise (forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=126599). It's the height I'm more worried about, with the Gigabyte badge on the top.

If I'm dropping the OC, I will rather go with the GA-H87N-WIFI, and a non-K CPU. Then, is the h100i overkill?

I do think that overclocking has it's benefits,maybe not right now but in the future when the cpu might be getting the bottleneck would imo overclocking be an answer to that.In that way could you do longer with you're components.
That case does support enough airflow for it.
The psu you chose isn't that bad so imo could you keep it.They only say that because it has cooler master on it.
The gpu should be able to fit in that case,when i look at this picture is there still some room above the gpu where that little logo goes,

That is the one (GV-N780D5-3GD-B) I said can fit. And other 3 can't. http://www.gigabyte.us/products/comparison/list.aspx?ck=3&pids=4816,4673,4622,4621

Didn't really take a look at that since he said he already figured it out.

At the corsair site is this the max for the gpu:"a 290mm long GPU"in the previous link does it say that the card you chose is 292mm so it might just be to long,but 2mm isn't a big difference.Are you sure it fit's?

HoodedBee · Apr 28, 2014

Yes I'm pretty sure.

This is a Sapphire R9 290X TRI-X OC, thats 305mm. It is snug, but it fits.

Just read thet the psu can make a lot of noise, so I'll swap that out. Any suggestions?

Turb0Yoda · Apr 28, 2014

Seasonic, XFX, Silverstone. I like OCZ personally. The ROP has been using them for years and we have one from 2003 or something similar that runs without a hitch.

HoodedBee · Apr 29, 2014

Turb0Yoda :

I think I'llgo for a Power Seasonic M12II-620 EVO 620W.
I want to dualboot with windows and steam os. Should get another SSD, or a single bigger one?

Turb0Yoda · Apr 29, 2014

HoodedBee :

I would say which ever one will be cheaper as both will work fine unless you accidently press RAID in the bios. At the ROP, we use one hard drive and have Windows XP and Windows 7(and hopefully add windows 8.1 because of the programs we use).

HoodedBee · Apr 30, 2014

Here is what i have setled for (unless someone have strong objections). The website is norwegian, if you wondered. I'll build it when get a break from my finals.

Turb0Yoda · Apr 30, 2014

HoodedBee :

I'd get the NZXT Hue if possible instead of that light strip. Much more possibilities for colors. It uses a 5.25 inch dvd/cd drive bay though...'
Also, that SSD has been having a lot of complaints because apparently Kingston has switched to Asynchronous RAM. I'd go with the Samsung 840 EVO or the Crucial 500/550.
