Hi, I wonder if these parts are compatible or worth the price? Any better parts maybe?
Oh, and before I get the list of parts, I want to inform you that I'm from Norway and the prices may be different in the US/other countries. I convert the money from NOK to USD.

Alright, so these are the parts I found on the internet:


gpu: ASUS GTX 970 STRIX 4GB - 2000 NOK - 234 usd
cpu: Intel Core i5 6600K socket 1151 - 2390 NOK - 279 usd
cpu fan: COOLER MASTER Hyper TX3 Evo - 299 NOK - 35 usd
motherboard: MSI Z170A KRAIT GAMING socket 1151 - 900 NOK - 105 usd
RAM: Kingston 16gb (2kit) 2133 mhz ddr4 fury black - 700 NOK - 82 usd
Case: Corsair Carbide 200R 210mm*497*430 - 649 NOK - 76 usd
Storage: Kingston 240GB SSD SATA 2.5" - 499 NOK - 58 usd
PSU: Corsair VS650 650W - 699 NOK - 82 USD

USD 951

Sorry for not posting links, since they are norwegian and two of them are not-much-used parts (gpu + motherboard) sold used from some people.

Are the parts compatible? Are they worth it? Have any suggestions?



 
Solution
Do not get the Corsair VS model of power supply, or CX, those are lower end models, not good to use in a gaming system.

For Corsair you want to stick with the RM and up models, or XFX, Seasonic, EVGA SuperNOVA models.

Yes, they're compatible, but consider stepping up to at least the GTX 1070. The 970 only has effectively 3.5GB VRAM, and 4.2 TFLOPS capable. Consoles releasing end of next year will be capable of 4-6 TFLOPS (PS Neo, Xbox Project Scorpion), so devs will no doubt be making cross platform titles more hardware demanding. The 1070 is 6.5 TFLOPS rated, and has 8GB VRAM.
