1st PC Build - compatibility check

[mirthibault]

Hi there !

I plan on building my very first PC, so here I am looking for advice from experienced fellows, to check if there are any compatibility issues between parts, or if I forgot about something, or anything that comes to your mind really, suggestions to improve and what-not... Also, I do not want to spend more than 1150£, My build adds up to 1130£.

Here it is :

Thanks a lot for your help

Looks good. You can drop the CPU cooler and thermal paste. The CPU comes with both.

Thanks for your answer !

Yeah I have read quite a few times that the intel stock heatsink is good enough for that locked i5-8400. However, I have also read that it is fairly noisy... which is the main reason why I think I might go for an aftermarket one. But indeed, I can probably do without the extra thermal paste if some comes with the i5-8400 !

Thanks again.

I'll wait for more opinions before I close the thread, you know, better be safe than sorry...

Cheers!

Well, the thermal paste is preapplied to the heatsink. If,you want to get an additional HSF then you will need the thermal paste.
