Your GPU does work in your MoBo and all parts are compatible, though, your PSU is a low quality Tier four unit.

Thank you... What about GTX 1070 or 1060 Are they compatible?

Aeacus · Nov 9, 2016

Your MoBo has atleast one PCI-E x16 slot. That means you can put any GPU in it, Radeon (AMD) or Nvidia (Intel). Starting from e.g Radeon HD 5450 and ending with Nvidia Titan X Pascal.

Oh, why you have selected the i7 CPU? E.g what's the purpose of your PC.

Someone gave me this CPU and I dont want to spend money on differtent CPU. This PC is meant for gaming.

Can you please recommend me the best PSU for the 70$ price range.

And thank you for all your answers!

If you were to buy the i7-6700 then, for gaming, i would've suggested for i5-6600 instead. But since you get it for free, it will do.

About PSUs, i prefer Seasonic. For your GTX 1080, a 500W range, in this case a Seasonic G-550 ($69.89).

It's 80+ Gold, semi-modular and a solid Tier two PSU.

Also, refined your build a bit.

Few words.

Changed the MoBo to a Gaming Pro version since it has RGB LEDs for eyecandy.
Picked 2x 4GB of RAM, leaving 2 RAM slots free for future upgrades.
Put in the best SSD for OS (proof here) and 1TB HDD for storage.
Went with a Gaming X version of the GPU to match the MoBo's black&red theme.
And lastly, put in great PSU that comes directly from the best PSU OEM, Seasonic.

Didn't put the case in since case is a personal choice. Though, can give suggestions if you like.

Oh, if you don't have the stock Intel's cooler that comes with non-K CPU, you also need to buy one.
Here i suggest Arctic Freezer i32.

I got the same CPU cooler in my current Skylake build with i5-6600K, though i upgraded mine to push-pull system with another 120mm PWM fan (Arctic F12 PWM PST).
