Hi, im new to building computers but im no stranger to them. This will be my first attempt at building a computer and i am very skeptical about everything and if It'll even work... lol.. (I tend to have bad luck with these things) .. anyway i have a few questions hopefully you guys can answer them .. and I'm also taking any suggestions into consideration.

I'd like to know if all my parts are compatible. My budget is around 1,500 maybe a bit more if needed but i definitely wouldn't mind if it's lower.

My main concerns are the power supply not having enough watts.
And the video card not fitting into the motherboard or the motherboard needing something "better" . Also the processor not fitting in.

The computer parts are.

OS- Windows 7 home premium 64bit.

CPU- intel core i5-4690k

Mobo- Asus maximus vii hero atx ddr3 2600 Lga 1150.

GPU- EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti superclock w/g-sync support 2gb GDDR5 128 bit, dual- link, DVI-I, HDMI, DP 1.2 graphic card.

HDD- WD blue 1 TB, 7200 rpm, 3.5 inch, sata 6gb, 64Mb cache.

SDD- kingston HyperX 3k 120 gb sata III 2.5 inch 6.0 gbs

Heatsink- cooler master hyper 212 plus.

RAM- Corsair vengeance 12gb (3x4gb) DDR3 1600mhz

PS- Corsair CX series 500 watt atx/eps modular.

Case- AZZA solano 1000 CSAZ-1000 full tower.

Optical- Sony AD-72805-0B

Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

If you're never going to oc you could drop to a i5 4690 and a cheaper mobo.

Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157510

Cpu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116989&cm_re=i5_4690-_-19-116-989-_-Product

Then get the OCZ ZT 650 W for 10$ more : http://www.amazon.com/FirePower-Series-80Plus-Fully-Modular-Performance/dp/B005SCYFVA

And then get a GTX 760: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130933&cm_re=gtx_760-_-14-130-933-_-Product

You would get much much much better gaming performance with a gtx 760 over the 750 ti.



EDIT: I just came across this great bundle, I would reccomend this to you, all you need to do is buy an OS and an ssd...

@Rybo thanks, ill make the switch. And @dookiedraws ill be using this computer mainly for gaming, some internet browsing and to watch movies. I am not planning to overclock since the games i play do not require me to and i dont want to deal with the computer overheating. And to be honest im not so sure how the whole overclock thing works.
