[tlev1987]

I was looking to make my first custom pc but want to make sure all the parts will be compatible.

parts:

motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3 Intel Z68 Motherboard - ATX, Intel Z68 Express, Socket H2 (LGA1155), 2200MHz DDR3 (O.C.), SATA 6.0 Gb/s, RAID, 8-CH Audio, Gigabit LAN, USB 3.0, PCIe 3.0, CrossFireX/SLI, Bluetooth

CPU: Intel Core i5 650 Processor BX80616I5650 - 3.20GHz

PSU: Corsair CMPSU-750TXV2 Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 Power Supply - 750 Watts, ATX, 140mm Fan, 80 Plus Bronze, SLI Ready, Active PFC

RAM: Corsair CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 Vengeance 16GB PC12800 DDR3 RAM - 1600MHz, 4x4096MB, Non-ECC, Unbuffered

Your processor is for socket 1156 you need an cpu for 1155 socket. Ill recomend you i5 2400 quad core. If you wanna overclock go with i5 2500k : http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1378560&Sku=I69-0003
If you don't wanna make SLI change the power supply with this http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7195036&CatId=1483 and you will be in the same price range.

Thanks for the info sosofm. I'll probably go with the i5 2500k then. I guess the rest of it is compatible.

It is doubt able that you need that much RAM, but your choice. i5-2500k is the way to go, and get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo to go with it. At least that is what I would do. Other than the CPU, ya compatible.
