Hi everyone, I've decided to build a gaming PC and I figured that I needed some help with parts and part compatibility. I've listed all the parts on http://pcpartpicker.com/list/JKH44C Please let me know if I'm missing anything or if anything doesn't work together. Thanks.

- the sickleflow fans are pretty noisy
- the supernova nex is pretty low quality. Go for a 550W Seasonic or XFX unit, or a Corsair CXm 550.
- usually you won't need a sound card as on board solutions are more than sufficient. However if you want a dedicated sound card of high quality you'd need to spend more money on it.
- I'd get a bit of a better cooler like the Cryorig H7 or the Hyper 212 Evo
- as for the board I'd get a Gigabyte Z170 K3

The csm isnt that great, that cooler isn't good enough for a 6600k if you're overclocking
Those Hitachi drives are used - don't buy one.
