I made this pc: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Lukas131425/saved/H8BCmG

So basically I will be playing Minecraft, Counter-Strike (CS:GO), and H1Z1 and more steam games with this gaming pc.

My price range is $700-$800.

I want to know if there are any Compability errors or reccomendations.

Also people were telling me there were problems with the case and its compability with Mother board and CPU Cooler/Fan

Very similar to second build I posted. I'm aware an r9 390 build can be done for a little less, but OP messaged me and told me he prefers Nvidia.

1. chose a smaller hard drive. this can always be upgraded pretty easily later. might as well use your money on the nicer stuff now.
2. chose a small case, but itll get the job done. only has one fan but itll be fine since you arent overclocking. your original case is actually a little cheaper, but you'll have that $20 rebate. thats up to you. still compatible with this build.
3. budgeted a gtx 970 which will give you a massive performance boost with gaming, regardless of which i5 you have.
4. only a single $10 rebate to deal with. a little over budget but very worth your money...

1. picked an overclocking processor and cooler with a motherboard not made to handle overclocking. spending money on something you can't use. a non-k processor is a better choice in this budget and the stock cooler is sufficient.
2. low quality power supply.
3. internal wifi card is a better choice.
4. could easily budget more into the gpu with some balancing.

I agree with every one of N3rdR4age's changes. His build list is better in every way that matters. You could trim an additional $30-40 off of his parts if you needed to with no quality or performance loss. Do you REALLY need a disc drive? That's $16 right there you could save.

if you skip the cd drive and do a 250gb hdd, i was able to squeeze a 970 in. little bit lower end, smaller mobo, but fine. much better gaming performance overall.

5. no sacrifice in quality.
6. smaller form factor micro atx build.
7. removed cd/dvd drive. that can always be added easily later. you can download almost everything these days anyway. you can even buy an external one later when you actually need it for some reason.
