I Need help to check if my components are compatible or not. I have all the parts in PC part picker and the website says all are compatible but it's not always accurate so I think it would be great if one of you guys can check it for me as I am new to building a PC http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3mqMGX

No. If you must use DDR3 it needs to be low voltage DDR3L. You should choose a different board and use DDR4 since Skylake is designed for it. Also, using a GTX 980 ti with a 1080P monitor @ 60hz. is a waste of parts. A GTX 970 is plenty for 1080P or maybe use a 1440P monitor instead of 1080P. A build like yours should include an SSD for a boot drive.

learn about your soon to be new computer..... go to google and look up the info, don't expect us to hand it to you on a plate....most of us would have to use google or some form of search for verification on all the parts, why should we do your work?

Yep, DDR isn't Low Voltage. But that's all.

I'd suggest changing the HDD though. Mechanical drives are quite slow these days in comparison to SSD, you'll see a massive boost in load times for everything. Mechanical drives are fine for general storage (pictures, videos, etc), but for loading up Windows or games it's about 3-6 times longer on a mechanical. If you can spare another ~£60-£80, you can get into a 250GB SSD which will drastically improve the performance of your computer.
