Hi everyone

I'm about to build my first pc but i'm not sure if i still need some extra things in my build what i got is this : https://tweakers.net/gallery/814815/wenslijst/ (I also probably get a ssd with the build)

The things i'm maybe worried about is the tempatures in my pc getting to high or even overheating. And btw if there is anything else i should change in my build i would aprecciate it if you guys mention it.

Any advice would be helpfull. Thx!

(I changed the link now everything should be fine)

Hey,

Mostly a good choice of PC parts. For temperatures, all of the parts chosen are pretty good at keeping cool. The GTX 1070 has a very low heat output for the type of card it is and the I5 has a relatively low TDP also.
Just make sure you have a few case fans and if needs be, you can always buy an aftermarket CPU cooler.

Although the I5 and GTX 1070 are a good pair, there are some major incompatibilities with the PC build listed above. The motherboard chosen is an AM3+ board, used for AMD CPUs and will NOT work with the I5 chosen.
You will also require DDR4 RAM.

For the Power Supply, I would recommend something with a bit lower power output with a higher efficiency rating, and the HDD, I would recommend the cheaper Caviar Blue...

I will put together a new parts list with compatible parts.

I saw that you did add a micro atx motherboard, I was also thinking about adding a micro atx but I wasnt sure if it was a good choice to put it in a bigger case maybe because you wouldnt get some things that a bigger(atx) motherboard would get.

But is it still fine to put a micro atx in a bigger case or is it more worth it to put a bigger one for a slighty higher price if im willing to spend it.
