Hey guys, I'm building a new pc and I just wanna make sure, that mybuild is compatible. I already tested it on the partpicker, but still. I want to be 100% sure.
Anyway, my build:
CPU: Intel Core i3-6100
GPU: ASUS PHOENIX GeForce GTX 1050TI 4G
Motherboard: MSI B150M PRO-VDH
RAM: Kingston 8GB KIT DDR4 2133MHz CL14 HyperX Fury Black Series
Power Supply: EVGA 450 B3

As HDD i already have some 320gb. I know, that's not much but I'm ok with it.

Feel free to ask me a question about detailed info.

I see no problems with your build.

But, if buying new, I like to use current tech which usually gives you better price/performance.
Normally, a kaby lake G4560 would be the budget recommendation, but the word is out and the prices have been bid up to the i3-6100 level to where it is no longer the bargain at $65 that it was originally.
The i3-6100 can support a stronger graphics card, so I suggest you look at a 520w psu.
That evga psu is not one of their best.
Look for a tier 1 or 2 unit from a list such as this:

Seasonic is always good.
Look for a 520 or 620w Seasonic S12II which seems to be on sale:
The 620w unit at $35 after rebate is hard to beat...

Lastly,
will never again build without a ssd for the "C" drive. It makes everything you do much quicker.
120gb is minimum, it will hold the os and a handful of games.
But, many things default to the "C" drive.
When a SSD nears full, it will lose performance and endurance.
240gb is the recommended minimum.

If you can go 240gb, or 500gb you may never need a hard drive.


Samsung EVO is a good choice for performance and reliability.

See if you can't find a way to include one in your build.
Samsung 850 evo 240gb is $110

Well, sadly, I'm in a budget, so I can't afford a SSD right now :/

And about the PSU, will be the EVGA 600W better? I mean, yeah it has about 100 watts more, but it is really cheap and, you know, cheaper way isn't always good.
