How can I know if my pc components are compatible with each other.

russelman · Oct 7, 2017

CPU: Core i3-6100
MOBO: MSI h110m PRO-VD
PSU: Cooler Master Thunder 500w
GPU: GTX 1050Ti 4gb DDR5
Case: Armaggeddon Vulcan V1x (Mid-Atx)
Ram: Hyperx 4gb

I was wondering if this build is good and ready to build or if it's not recommendable and not compatible.

It is compatible and good to go, but your PSU should change to more reliable brands though, Cooler Master does produce amazing cpu coolers, not PSU especially cheaper ones.

Try this one
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XxvZxr/evga-b3-450w-80-bronze-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-220-b3-0450-v1 (Yes 450W PSU is still enough for your PC) and its Fully-Modular too, helps a lot in cable management, also the PSU is rebranded from Super Flower, so you can expect a very good performance and safe PSU.

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/PHCwrH/corsair-power-supply-cx500m (if you want 500W this one is fine) From channel well, not as good as Super Flower, but will do the job, since you're not overclocking and not putting on very heavy load on the PSU

Good Luck!

Thanks a lot!!!
But if I want to overclock my cpu, should I get the 500w or should I get higher?

russelman :

You cannot overclock your cpu with the current CPU and your current motherboard chipset.
If you want to overclock you have to use a board with "Z" prefix chipset, and your CPU has to have "K" suffix, for unlocked multipliers.
if you want headroom for future upgrade, 500-550W is more than enough.
500W should leave you enough headroom for future upgrade though

Good Luck!

This is one of the cheapest b350 mb to keep OC potential, what is your total budget? Usually you need to consider the whole build rather than limiting each component separately
