Hello,

I have decided to build a gaming PC and how I can find out all the parts fit together boggles my mind. I was wondering if someone could help me out and tell me what is compatible with what. Maybe some recommendations on what would work with my CPU as I really like it.

CPU - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B012M8M7TY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?smid=A1HU0UETW2PFPN&psc=1

HDD - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0088PUEPK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1

Power Supply - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00H33SDR4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1

Graphics Card - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B015E9VDC0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1

RAM - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B015QJJPI2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A1HU0UETW2PFPN&psc=1

Motherboard - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00LUY72F6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1HU0UETW2PFPN&psc=1

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated and if anything is far worse than the rest I would really like to know.

I know I am missing some things but if someone could make a list of the things I am missing that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

By the way I'm looking for a mid range gaming PC.

Not really a good pick for a gaming oriented build, parts are all over the place!
1) You don't need 850WPSU!
2) The 960 is never a good pick now that the 480 and 1060 are out
3) No need for i7

Putting those together you get this build. Same cost, roughly triple the gaming performance

1) That motherboard IS NOT FOR INTEL CHIPS!
2) You have no OS
3) You're spending too much on RAM
4) You're spending too little on a PSU

Since you are on a budget it seems, consider this instead:

Can I make a good gaming PC at round $1,200 USD? If so can you recommend one?

Should be a decent built with good upgradability in case you want a 1170/1270 in a few years (assuming nvidia keeps that naming convention)

I was thinking of having a 1TB HDD instead of a 512 SSD. Would a 1TB hybrid work too?

Stay away from hybrid drives, they are expensive and not all that good anyway.

Do you absolutely need 1TB right now? If you don't, just wait until you need more disk space and get a 2TB or 3TB drive, 1TB drives are horribly overpriced in comparison (usually 50% more expensive than 3TB per GB)

Hopefully this is my final question, can this computer run on 220V?
