Hi!
I'm building my own gaming pc for the first time, using various sites I have selected a build that is good for my budget. Here are the parts/components:
Processor: Intel Core i5-4460 Processor 6M Cache, up to 3.40 GHz (BX80646I54460)
Graphics Card: MSI GTX 970 4GB DDR5 OC Edition Graphic Card
Motherboard: MSI B85M-G43
RAM: Corsair CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 XMS3 8GB Dual Channel Memory Kit (ie 2x 4GB DDR3)
Power Supply: Corsair CP-9020051-WW VS Series VS650 650 Watt Power Supply Unit (Black)
Case: Corsair CC-9011023-WW Carbide Series 200R ATX Case (Black)
HDD: Seagate SV-35 1TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (ST1000VX000)
Monitor: BenQ VW2245Z 21.5-inch LED Monitor
To the best of my knowledge, I have tried to make sure that these are compatible with each other but I still want the opinion of someone who is more experienced than me regarding these things. Are these components compatible with each other? Is this a decent enough build? Can you suggest a better build? Also, should I replace the motherboard " MSI B85M-G43" with "ASRock 970 Extreme 3 Motherboard" and would it still be compatible?
Thank you.
