Hey guys,
I'm planning to build my own computer for the first time but I'd just like to check whether the parts are compatible so I don't waste a bunch of money.
The parts:

I'd appreciate a speedy response as I would like to order the parts before Christmas.

PS: I didn't know where to put this so feel free to move it.
 
I notice that you are using a B75 chipset motherboard (non-overclocking) and a 4670k cpu (overclocking). You might want to change either your mobo if you plan to overclock (look for a Z87 series mobo) or your cpu if you are not planning to overclock (llok for a non-"k" series cpu) Also, if you plan to overclock, you will want to get an aftermarket cpu cooler such as the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo (or Plus), both reasonably priced and good for light to moderate oc'ing.
 


Thanks for the speedy reply, I think I will replace the motherboard but will get the aftermarket cooler later as i don't intend to overclock straight away.
I hate to be a pain, but is everything else compatible?

Edit: Also would that cooler be any good for an overclock to something like 4ghz?
 
You can use B-75 or B-85 mobo. And buy Xeon 1230V2 or LGA 1150 Xeon 1230V3 and you do not need overclocking.
Xeon is fast enough with stock clocks.

Do it like this. Just buy SSD + maybe cpu cooler for more silent build.

And SSD is good buy for new build.

Bigger is better.

Intel xeon is like i7 for a price i5.
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E3-1230+v3+%40+3.30GHz&id=1942

It do have 8 treads + HT
No iGPU so needs video card. But for gaming build video card is must have anyway.

But I do not know anyone who would not want i7 over i5 :)
 


Thank you very much for your help, From experience on other forums I thought it would take days to get a reply so thanks again.
