Are all my pc parts compatible?

Almodammer · Apr 6, 2015

Hey guys, I am building a pc for gaming, recording, rendering, and editing link here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mQp6dC are all the parts compatible and is there anything unnecessary or anything I need to improve. (Btw I'm not willing to change the RAM amount) and also will anything in my computer bottleneck?
Thanks

They should work great and without bottlenecking. Fine tuning -

Only get 2 x 4gb 1866 cl9 ram - that's all you'll need for gaming

The PC only needs a 500W PSU. Get a XFX550. Or if you want to add another gtx 970 later you'll need a 750W PSU - but get a better quality one eg EVGA Supernova G2 750W gold.

I don't see any problems with your build. Despite what PC Part Picker says, it doesn't appear that your motherboard requires a BIOS update for that processor.
