I really want to know if these specs are good or bad for a gaming PC?

Hi Christian,

The Motherboard and CPU are inconpatible. The CPU is an LGA 1151, while the motherboard is a LGA 1150 socket. You'll need to find a Z170 type motherboard to fit that CPU.

You'll also have to choose different RAM once you start looking at Z170 motherboards. They mostly take DDR4 RAM instead of DDR3.

Also, is there a reason you want a compact size PSU? There are better power supplies available at the 700W range, so I'm wondering why you set you sights on the Silverstone...
