I'm building a gaming PC (my first build) and I just want to make sure everything is compatible.

Here is everything: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/xH2YRB

By the way I added a custom part on the bottom so please look at that too.

PC Part Picker says it's compatible but I just want to make sure.

Do you have any suggestions to replace/add any parts or is this good?

Thank you in advance (By answering you're really helping me a lot).

Do you really need absolute top of the line everything? Are you running multiple 4K monitors or doing ultra-high-end gaming in 2K/4K? While there's nothing wrong with getting some of the best high-end components on the market today, whether or not you'll get your money's worth is largely dependent on what you want to do. You have a 1080p monitor included, so that eliminates 4K and probably multi-monitor from the mix, so I'm not entirely sure you really NEED a 780 Ti, especially with the 800 series coming this fall-ish. The i7 is really overkill unless you do heavy processing that utilizes multi-core processing, which most gaming is pretty awful at. You really want at least a H97, or Z97 motherboard if you're planning on overclocking the processor (if you aren't planning on overclocking, you don't need a K series processor). The Bose speakers included are a joke. For $100 you can get plenty of 2.1 speaker setups that are as good or superior. Bose is literally just an upcharge to have BOSE on your speakers.

You haven't given us much information on your usage, and you have way more computer than you probably need on way too little motherboard in a very small case. $2300 for a mATX gaming rig is almost absurd.

The reason I'm doing this is because I am going to have this for a very long time (probably forever) and I want it to be very powerful, even if it is a lot of money. The reason I went with mATX is because when I travel I want to take it with me. If it helps, this I'm going to use this for mainly gaming and a lot of other stuff on the side.

I'll take your advice and replace the speakers. What speakers would you recommend?

Anyways is everything I chose compatible?

Thank you for your time

yes. but i suggest looking for a Z97 matx board. makes OC easier. also, change hyper 212 to something like h80i or seidon 120v... easier to cool cpu in such a tiny case.

Also, bose speakers are overkill. you are being charged 300% for the name bose.

you will be able to play games in the next 5 years med 1080p.

Thank you for the reply

The reason I'm not going with a z97 motherboard is because I don't plan on overclocking.

The reason I'm going with the hyper 212 is because it got really good reviews and I would prefer stay away from liquid cooling. Is the hyper 212 sleeve bearing or do you mount the actual fan on the CPU?

I changed the speakers. What do you think of these? My updated build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ftrhvK

By answering me you are really helping me a lot.

The processor comes with its own cooler which is sufficient for stock speeds, so you can remove the cooler. If you aren't planning on overclocking, you can get the i7-4790 instead, which will save you around $40, and I would suggest an H97 board like http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-h97m because it's the current chipset you'd want for the 4790.
