Hi everyone, I'm extremely new to the building of PCs. From what I've read, comparability seems to be a very important issue when building a new PC. However, I'm finding it difficult to check compatability for all my components. I was hoping that someone with more experience can help me in checking my first PCs comparability

Here are a list of my components

Processor:

Intel i5-6600k

Graphics card:

Nvidia GTX 1080

Motherboard:

Asus Z170 deluxe

Ram:

Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM - Black (HX318C10FBK2/16)

Storage:

Samsung 850 Evo 500gb

Power supply:

EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 80+ GOLD, 850W ECO Mode Fully Modular NVIDIA SLI and Crossfire Ready 10 Year Warranty Power Supply 220-G2-0850-XR

Case:

Cooler Master HAF X - Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 Ports and Windowed Side Panel (RC-942-KKN1)

Cooling fan:

H220-X CPU Liquid Cooling Kit - $139.95




Monitor: Acer Predator XB271HK bmiprz 27-inch

Thank you so much!

Motherboard and CPU- check that the socket is the same. (in this case, LGA 1151)
Motherboard and RAM - DDR3 or DDR4 and what MHz
Motherboard and Case - check what size the motherboard is and what size your case support, such as ATX, mATX etc
PSU - check that you got enough Watt for your system. (850W is more than enough for 1 GPU, most likely supprots 2 GPUs)
GPU and...
