Hello guys! As I've been waiting for my new PC to come, and oh so many questions which is the best, advice and so on.... I think I finally have my build! Though there always was one scary problem which was biting me constantly since I ever thought about building it. ....And that was the compatibility of the components. I frankly do not want to see parts which do not work together, and total frustration.

As I got my Pc components on PcPartPicker, the site says: No issues detected! ...But I am just not 100% believing in everything that a site would say. After doing some research I saw that PCPP is quite an advanced site. But I also saw reddit posts that PCPP could not see the different length of tubes, or other small problems which were ''quite'' hard to detect.

Now this got me a bit on my nerves, because as a first time rookie PC builder, I don't want to be in huge problems that I've never seen before. So... my main questions are:
Are my PC components compatible?
Is PCPP compatibility checker reliable. (Or atleast reliable enough to not ask professionals ;))
If there's truly a real problem with my pc, or major advice. I'd be happy to get it.

EDIT: I rather would like the budget to stay the same, so if there's some part switching. Sure! unless it really makes it more expensive, I would rather let it stay as it is if it ''would'' be compatibile already.
EDIT2: New build idea, small changes in PSU and RAM:http://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/DBzK3F

A few slight changes. I don't 100% agree on the monitor, if your goal is 144hz at as many frames as possible, I think the 1080p resolution is not a bad choice. 2560x1440@60hz is an alternative, but only better if you intend for a larger screen.

The parts are certainly compatible, but not ideal. Wait for some feedback on this build. Many things need/should be changed such as the power supply, memory configuration, SSD. Motherboard could easily be swapped for something that matches the rest, and if you really need WiFi, there are better options out there that will cover more potential routers.

 
Well...
Your choice is very strange at least for some components.
The CPU and MB are very solid choice.
But you will be better with 2x8GB memory kit.
And a better power supply is also possible without braking the budget.
BUT,
The main problem of this build is the monitor+ video card.
GTX 1070 is not for 1080p monitors. Get 1440p or ultra wide monitor instead.

Hi, thanks for the advice. The reason for this monitor and gtx 1070 was this: I wanted a PC that would last me for years, and have decent frames with atleast the highest graphics at first, and good graphics in the later years. For this I'd rather have 1080p 144fps overkill. I am not sure if 1440p makes *that* big of a difference between frames. But there was a reason for an overkill. I am planning to get higher resolutions with my second build or who knows bottleneck. But yes, I do not care that much about main resolution (1080p compared to 1440p) so it would just overkill the frames for the first years, and I would be ready for the next :D
http://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/mGj4d6 would you say this is better? :)

Hi! Thanks for the answer! I think i'm soon going to just make this best solution. But... If you can answer this one....
Is it bad if I still keep my Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive? I mean my biggest plan really was to keep it under €1700. I agree with the rest though. (I think you did say the SSD was compatible, just not recommended. I would be glad to get your opinion on that SSD though :D)
