Hello everyone;

I have wanted a pc for a long time now and finally I have been able to get the money to get one. I am just a bit concerned that my build might end up being incompatible. I have checked on partpicker and it says it is correct, but I just wanted to make sure with you. This is the build:

budget: 1500
 
You can afford an i7, so definitely go that route:

Also, air coolers are more reliable and AiOs not really needed for Skylake.
