Hello everyone,

I am looking to build a mid-range gaming PC this Black Friday. My budget I was looking for was $900 CDN. I have a build in mind so I'll write it down below.

Case - Phanteks ECLIPSE P400S ATX Mid Tower Case
Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-H170M-D3H (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel H170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Processor - Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Graphics - Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 4GB GDDR5
Memory - G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Storage - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Power Supply - EVGA SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
O/S - Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit

I'm trying to purchase all these parts on black friday online and i'm trying to fit my budget of $900 CDN. Please tell me if these parts will be easy to install on this case or if there are any issues with my build. Feel free to make a new one for me if you feel you can make a better one, I'm always welcome to suggestions (this is my 1st time building a PC)

On a new build there is no reason to use DDR3 memory and a DDR3 motherboard. The spec is for DDR3L anyway which is not what you chose.

Go with the DDR4 version of that board and some DDR4-2133 memory, it should come out to be the same price.

Hi @Rogue Leader

I updated the build with DDR4 2133 RAM but i was wondering if you could link me the DDR4 version of this board (sorry i'm really new to this stuff)

Thanks,
OP

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Diflexster12 : "Does my Build work?"

I'm preparing to make this build on black friday. I'm Canadian so i'll be buying all the parts online. Would this build work or cause any bottleneck issues? Also, are all my parts compatible with each other? Finally, is my motherboard and PSU good quality?

Case - Phanteks ECLIPSE P400S ATX Mid Tower Case
Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-H170M-D3H (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel H170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Processor - Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Graphics - Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 4GB GDDR5
Memory - G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Storage - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Power Supply - EVGA SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
O/S - Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit

I'm really keen as to getting quality parts because i don't want my PC to conk off after 3 years so please help me out! Thanks :)
