Hey everybody

So after alot of research, I decided to build my own pc.
I don't know alot about computer but I did my best try to make a viable build.
I've never build a pc, and I'd like to know if these parts are compatible with eachother.
I'd also like to know if I need anything else (parts,cables,etc).

Here is my PCpartpicker list: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/sswVwV

-I think I can use my i5 6500 with the motherboard. They both say 1151 sockets.
-My ram is DDR4, which is also the memory type the motherboard supports. Not sure if every ram fits in a micro ATX motherboard though.
-Also wondering if I'd need an additional SATAIII cable for my SSD
-Will the case be able to store all the parts? Like ATX, uATX, microATX.
-Also wonder if the 3 build-in fans are enough for the case
-Is the fan that comes with the cpu good enough, or will i have to upgrade?
-Do I need additional cable that I need to purchase, or do they all come out of the box?
-Is my power supply good enough?
-Just overall, will all these work together? no bottlenecking,etc...

Thank you very much.
Sorry for the many question, I try to learn a bit more about computer. But I've never build one, so I really don't know the answers :)

EDIT: BTW, I know that pcpartpicker has almost all the answers, but it's computer generated. I trust humans more :p

That PSU is not good at all
Get 16GB RAM insteaad of 8GB
Get a SSD in future at present HDD will serve well.

Could you explain why 600 watts is not enough, and 650 is?
Why would I need 16GB of ram at the moment? Can't I always upgrade?
Why a HDD over an SDD? I don't really need to store much, and an SSD is faster

it's not about wattage it's about the quality of the components inside


the one you choose is cheaply made, not for gaming systems



this costs the same but is MUCH better quality:

also it is better to get a pair of ram for better performance


like this:

everything else looks good


though the ssd will feel cramped after windows install
 
get the SSD. I was sceptical myself at first. but SSD performance is just that much better than HDD.
if you're running out of space, just hook up a seperate HDD in a year or so. it's not like it costs that much.
the PSU is garbage. Seagate, XFX (except for XT series) or EVGA Supernova are the way to go.
normally 3 case fans are more than enough.
as for the SATA cable - some SSDs come with some come without. having on in reserve is never bad, the cost like 2$.
get 16GB RAM. but you can save by going for Corsair / GSkill. Repeadedly read about some strange issues with the Kingston DDR4

Thanks, How much space will I have over on my SSD after windows?
I always thought it only was like 20GB.
Should I go for a bigger SSD or as Dranzer said, a HDD

ssd for windows + games with a traditional hdd for storage combo is best

but if that is beyond your budget get the ssd first then buy a hdd down the line


adding a non boot hdd is easy
