Are these parts compatible?

[DirtDiver7]

I am going to be building my first pc soon, and I am wondering if these components are compatible with each other.

Yes those should all work fine, I have a couple of suggestions though:

1. Get a different power supply. I've heard a few mixed things about the Cooler Master EPP lineup. I can't find any certifications for it anywhere so it may not even be BRONZE certified, which means that it'll be noisy, and inefficient.

If you don't mind spending the extra cash, here's an amazing CPU+PSU combo deal that gives you some of the best of both with some significant savings:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.960875

Alternatively, if you're comfortable with that CPU, here's a very good PSU that's GOLD certified:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151088

The PSU is one component that you simply can't skimp out on. A weak PSU that costs 60 bucks will pop within a few years and aggravate you all the way there. Eventually you'll have to replace it. A good PSU that costs 120 bucks will last around 7-10 years and run cool and quiet the whole time.

2. Consider spending the extra money for a true quad core processor. The SandyBridge i3s are great for today's workloads but they may not cut it for the workloads 2 years from now. If you plan to keep this for more than a few years you should consider investing in the extra power. A CPU can be replaced but it can't be upgraded like memory or hard disk space. An extra 80 bucks will get you an i5-3450

3. 4GB of RAM will get eaten up pretty easily these days. I recommend 2 4GB sticks for a total of 8, use this set:

Good luck!

Dang stuff costs a lot of money. I kind of got into the idea of custom built gaming pc's because I found that I could build a much better gaming machine for the same price as a laptop I was going to get. So this is sort of a tight budget build for me I figure in 3-5 years when I have a decent income (I'm a high school student right now) then I'll overhaul the specs, but for right now spending more money sounds kind of unappealing. But I really appreciate your great advice, when I do have the money I will definitely go for those parts.

Would this PSU work well? its 80+ certified: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159126

Coolmax isn't a well regarded name. SeaSonic is considered to be the best closely followed by Enermax. These two companies manufacture a lot of PSUs for the likes of Corsair, Antec, and XFX. I wouldn't use that Coolmax PSU because Coolmax isn't well regarded. PSUs are easy to manufacture but hard to manufacture well. As a result of this, there are a veritable crapton of lemons on the market, many of which are a serious fire hazard. Here are a couple more suggestions:

Pinhedd is right, you don't need a high power PSU, just a quality one. Could you give us a budget and purpose for your build? Then we can come up with something that will suit you well. Also mention any parts you don't need (keybord, mouse etc).

 

[DirtDiver7]

the reason for the 700w psu is that I was thinking later on I could add another 6870 in crossfire.

my budget is 900 dollars, and the sole purpose of the system is gaming. I'm dead set on the 6870, unless another (single) graphics card can give me more performance while keeping the whole system under 900 (far enough so as to have enough cash for the sales tax and shipping).

 

[azeem40]

It would help if you told us what parts you need. Do you need OS, KB, Mouse, Monitor?

 

[DirtDiver7]

I have:
key board
mouse

I need:
case
mother board
cpu
gpu
psu
hdd
optical drive
wifi adapter (usb so I don't use up a pci slot for crossfire later on)
ram
OS
and a monitor (preferably 1080p/23" or better)

i would recommend this psu, i believe seasonic technically makes this one.

also it gives more watts on its 12v rail than your current selection

and it about the same price (has a 10 $ off coupon and a rebate)

89.99 - 20 dollar rebate = 69.99

69.99 - 10 coupon = 59.99

The 6870 is still the performance/dollar king, no doubt about that. It would be wise however to find some extra cash and get a good quality 650-700watt PSU. Crap PSUs, no matter what marketed wattage, are still crap PSUs. A 700watt PSU with tight voltage regulation and high efficiency will be better for Crossfire than a 1000watt PSU that barely has its regulation within the ATX specification.

 

[DirtDiver7]

so would I be able to find a good PSU for about $60

 

[dane332]

the psu i listed is a good psu

its a corsair (oem by seasonic) that sells for normally 120

but its on sale for 30 bucks off

then there is a 20 dollar rebate on that sucker

and then there is a 10 dollar newegg coupon

and it is bronze certified.

 

[DirtDiver7]

What about this PSU? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341018

Its actually about 60 bucks when I take advantage of the bundle with the optical drive. Your PSU is really good, but I'm just a little bit averse to mail in rebates.

 

[dane332]

wait i'm actually having second thought on my psu selection, i can't remember if it has enough pci power plugs for 2 6870s can anyone confirm?

 

[dane332]

As for the ocz psu

yea its has alot of ratings, but i've never had any experence with ocz psu.

i do not like the fact it has 2 rails but honestly i don't think that should effect you too much in this short term, my psu is actually better as it delivers more watts on the 12v rail despite it being 650 watts.

but considering the combo price nets you a dvd drive its a close call.

are you also aware that my psu has a combo price with your exact gpu?

having them bundled together saves your 17 dollars

 

[azeem40]

The PCIe connectors are provided with the GPU.

 

[dane332]

The PCIe connectors are provided with the GPU.

looking into it my psu selected only has 2 PCIe connectors which is not enough for 2 6870s because they have 4 PCIe ports


the original poster wanted to eventually power 2 6870s so i guess my psu is out unless he is kool with buying pci adapters.

 

[MrSte]

Can you guys tell me if this is a good system build, i'm going to start building my pc soon put this is currently my amazon basket, is there any suggestions/changes that you guys can make
keep in mind i have a 1080p HD monitor, a disc driive and multicard reader aswell as a keyboard and mouse
