First Gaming PC Build! Will All My Parts Fit?

skiinMade · Oct 19, 2016

Okay so this will be my first time building a gaming pc and I'm very happy but I'm not sure if all my parts will fit in my case and how do I know what version of Windows it will be? Down below is a list of all 7 components to build my pc. Also please let me know if I have any bad/too cheap parts on my list that are crucial to running and playing games faster with higher graphics. I am trying to be able to run DayZ on decent graphics and possibly more games that require more FPS.

Case: Cooler Master Elite ($84)

CPU: Intel Core I3 CPU ($105)

Hard Drive: Toshiba 1TB Internal HDD 3.5 ($43)

Motherboard: Asus H81M-Plus Micro ATX ($55)

PSU: EVGA 100-W1-0500-KR PowerSupply 80Plus - 500Watt ($42)

Graphic/Video Card: EVGA GEFORCE GTX 960 2GB GDDR5 ACX 2.0 (Around $200)

Memory Dell N2M64 8GB PC3-128000 DDR3-1600MHZ N-ECC Memory ($65)

As you can see my total sums up to around $400. All I need to know is if all of my parts will fit in the case and if I can buy these parts on this website. Thank you so much. :ange:

What country? You could do better if in the US.

You'd need to be more specific about which i3 you're talking about.

That would be the i3-6100 Dual Core 3.70 GHz, I am also in the United States but I am on a budget and I was planning on upgrading it when I start my job in December, but until now just a basic not to beefy PC.

No. The i3-6100 is a skylake cpu and needs a H110, B150, H170 or Z170 lga1151 mobo. The H81M is a lga1150 mobo and not at all compatible.

The gtx960 is currently over priced. You can get better performance for less with a Rx470 or the gtx1050ti which will be released in a few days.

For the same price as the 8gb of Dell memory, you can get 16Gb of better.

Pretty bad psu.

Btw, your parts don't add up to @$400. Unless you aren't counting gpu.

As Karadjgne pointed out, there were some issues with your build. That's why it's important to be specific with your parts. His buils is very solid, but I would go with 8Gb RAM at such a low budget.

Karadjgne · Oct 20, 2016

I would have chosen 8Gb if it was a semi permanent build, but considering op is going to upgrade, soon, with that build the only things needed would be an SSD and an i5-6500. For the $8 price difference between the Dell 8Gb and Kingston 16Gb, or $40 for 8Gb x2 (and possibly complications from mixed kits) the Kingston 16Gb both saves overall money and avoids unnecessary complications.

Just my rational behind the decision.

Op's original build totals $594. Mine $578. I'd keep the 16Gb.

Woops my bad I was not counting the GPU because I already have it, I forgot to mention this. I am planning on keeping this GPU I just need to know if it will fit in the NEW case you linked me. Btw thank you very much for putting in time and making me a whole list, really appreciate it.

CTurbo · Oct 21, 2016

I would still go with Karadjgne's build aside from the gpu and case. I'm not crazy about that case and think you could get a better one around the same price range. If you like it though, your parts would fit just fine.
