Hey guys,

I would really appreciate it if someone could check my PC build (https://pcpartpicker.com/user/PretzelOptician/saved/cskQzy) for compatibility issues. The website says it should be fine, but there are some things they leave out like missing components. This will be my first build, and I really don't want to screw it up. I left out the CPU cooler because, if I'm not mistaken, the CPU comes with a cooler.
If possible, I'd also like to ask if someone could tell me where it would stand in terms of performance. I do plan to overclock it, but first I want to know whether the stock CPU will be good enough to play games like Fallout 4.

Thanks in advance, Pretzel

Everything is compatible, and the parts are good. You'll need an after market cooler if you want t o overclock. If you don't want to overclock, you could save a lot of money.

The CPU will handle Fallout 4 and then some. You'll need an aftermarket cooler if you plan to overclock aggressively, the stock will be fine for normal use and most likely for light overclocking (you'll just have to checks temps as you go and see how far it'll carry you).
