Hi everyone,

I finally decided to build my first pc after wanting it for so long. I've put together a list with components for my pc-build. I would like to get some advice on it, since it is my first time building one. I really don't want to get anything wrong (mismatches/components which are not compatible).

See below the link to pcpartpicker.com:
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/musiboyy/saved/tTz4Mp

I couldn't find the case I want to buy on this site, so below is the link also for the case:

Any advice or comments will be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance!


Kind regards,

Musi
 
Solution
The reason it didn't show up, is that case requires an SFX power supply, and you chose a standard one. Compatibility mode will filter out incompatible parts. You want DDR4 3600 CL16. CL18 will give you the same performance, as a cheaper DDR4 3200 CL16 kit. Do you need PCI-E gen 4, for storage? Games really don't take advantage of that speed. If I was spending that much money, on a drive, it would be a 2tb Gen 3.0. Games are becoming quite large.

Thank you for your advice. I am going to adjust the SSD and RAM like you suggested. Just one more question about the case/power supply:

I changed the case in the following:

Will the previous Power Supply now fit, since this case also has ATX compatibility?

Thank you again.
 
The problem I have with the O11 dynamic, is no fans. So unless you intend on buying a lot of fans, it might not be the best choice. Nonetheless, here is one with an actual ATX PSU.

If you are unable to buy the extra fans, you might want to consider one of these Lian-li cases.

Thank you for your response once again!

I am able to buy extra fans. I was thinking about the following fans:

- Lian-Li ST120 RGB (3-pack fans) (link: https://www.alternate.nl/html/produ...m_campaign=Tweakers_Case fan&utm_term=1711487

- Lian Li UNI FAN SL140 (1 fan) (link: https://www.alternate.nl/html/produ...m_campaign=Tweakers_Case fan&utm_term=1711532)

I thought these 4 fans would be enough for the case.

With all the previous components, will there be any incompatiblity issues?

Thank you in advance for your response!
