Well, hi there! Welcome!
I am planning to build a mid-ish level gaming PC and these are the parts i was thinking about getting.
Here's a PCPartPicker list:
PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tMmbnQ
Price breakdown by merchant: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tMmbnQ/by_merchant/
CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($233.99 @ SuperBiiz)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($24.33 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: MSI Z170-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($114.88 @ OutletPC)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory ($49.50 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($45.89 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB TWIN FROZR Video Card ($119.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case ($52.99 @ NCIX US)
Power Supply: FSP Group Berzerker 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($39.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $681.56
I know the i5-6600k might be considered overkill but i picked it so that i won't have to upgrade the CPU for a few years. The 750Ti TwinFrozr seems like a good budget graphics card, despite being a bit old. I went for 16Gb RAM instead of 8 GB because i like video editing and i do quite a bit of it, plus i wanted to future-proof that part as well. The Motherboard is also an MSI product and from what i've read it fits my requirements, which are mid level gaming and possible mild overclocking.
Now, my question is:
Despite doing "my homework" i still fear i might have overlooked something. It's my first custom PC build and I don't want it to be a bust. Do you spot any problems or incompatibilities?
Every answer is much appreciated
