Will this build work?

hassankachal · Jun 21, 2016

I've been planning to buy myself a gaming PC for quite some time, and I finally have a build. I just want some final suggestions on how to improve it/ save money. My budget will not increase, so please try not to include parts that are more expensive than the ones listed. Parts are:

-CPU: i5 6500
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=65&item_id=086202

-Cooler: Coolermaster V8 GTS
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=129&item_id=084313

-Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=1201&item_id=071537

-RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB DDR3-1866

-SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 120GB 2.5"

-HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5"

-GPU: RX 480
Not out yet so no link.

-Case: NZXT H440

-PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650W 80+ ATX

Will the build work? I already have the motherboard.

Some of your parts don't work together.
Use the above site for basic compatibility just click the system build and pick your parts.
Post back when your through for a final review.

I do use pcpartpicker but they don't have the motherboard I want there, so that's whey I'm here. If you're interested, my build is linked below.

The CPU and mobo need to be compatible - your CPU choice is a socket 1151 CPU - you need a socket 1150 CPU - take a look the 4690K

Thanks. I made the change, but I'm not looking forward to spending the extra CAD$50 on the new CPU, even though it is better.

On a new rig, it will be worth it, it's basically like having a free CPU upgrade down the road
