Hi guys I need to see if this build is fine:

CPU: i3-6100 Dual Core 3.7GHz
Motherboard: ASUS B150M GAMING PRO
RAM: GSKILL Ripjaws Vseries DDR4-2133Mhz (2x4gb)
GPU: Radeon RX 470 4gb Gaming X
Hard drive: 500gb WD Caviar Blue
PSU: Cooler Master 500watts B500

Please tell me if it is OK and compatible thanks.

MeisterENOX - You need to give a bit more background as to what games you're playing, how many different games, what screen you have and any other details about your setup...

e.g. I only play a handlful of games and having a fast SSD drive is the most important part of fast startup and load-times... personally I would have put a 250Gb SSD in there... but then I've got ZERO photo/media on mine as I've got a 24Tb NAS on my home LAN... even if you're going to get a multi-purpose machine... if you don't have another computer where you keep your media (photo's, movies, etc), then maybe get a SSD system drive and a larger storage drive.... e.g. a 250Gb for a system drive and then a 2-3Tb storage drive? My old gaming desktop was setup before...

My old gaming desktop was setup before I bought my NAS (in 2013) and I had a 250Gb SSD and 2x2Tb in RAID mirror.... even after I got my NAS, I had the desktop setup to backup key folders on the NAS.
