Building a new pc

[Mike20_14]

Im building a new pc but im not sure if parts are compatible
MotherBoard:Asus P7P55D-E LX LGA 1156
RAM:2x2GB Kingston HyperX 1600MHz DDR3 CL9
Case:CoolerMaster USP 100 + ExtremePowerPlus 550W PSU
Processor:Intel Core-i5-2400 3.1GHz
GraphicsCard:MSI N460 GTX Hawk 1GB GDDR5
HardDisk:Samsung SpinPoint F1 HD753LJ 750 GB 7200 RPM 32 MB HDD

Your motherboard and CPU are incompatible with each other. The motherboard is Socket 1156 while the CPU is socket 1155. Change the motherboard to match your CPU.

I'd also probably swap power supplies with a better known source like Antec, Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling, or Corsair.

Ok i looked at ur spec and the first thing i saw was ur CPU will not work with ur Motherboard becuase the board has a LGA 1156 slot and the CPU uses a LGA 1155 Slot. But u could get the i5-650 3.2ghz dual core for $174 or the i5-760 2.8ghz quad core for $209 (prices from www.newegg.com)

That motherboard needs an older processor. If you want to run the 2400, you need a motherboard with an LGA 1155 socket, as opposed to an LGA 1156. (yeah, they did that on purpose to confuse you) You'll need to get RAM that's rated at 1.5v, and as there are 6 different kits on Newegg that fit the description you provided, this is the one that will work best with your setup:

Edit: Agree with Wolf, the Extreme series is the least extreme of the CM PSUs. This thing, however, is a beast:

Actually you are wrong. 1556 is completely compatible with 1155. Practically the same thing.

EDIT:
-oops never mind. I am wrong. I don't know what I was thinking lol.

 

[Wolfshadw]

Unfortunately, most everything I'd recommend is out of stock.

i just got my network back anyway never mind any of those out of stocks cos there are over 100 other stores not listed in this site i jus wanna know what would fit and i wud prefer cheap stuff (but not trash) cos im runin out of budget i just found G.skill Ripjaws 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 CL9 v1.5 for a good price but i think 2 of 2 gbs r better

 

[cuecuemore]

Yes, you'll want to run 2x2Gb instead of 1x4GB for the (sometimes negligible) advantage of dual channel architecture.

 

[Mike20_14]

well its solved for the ram. Wolfshadw said that i should get another psu now i need advices for a case and psu cos the psu comes with the case personally i dont think that cooler master is that bad

 

[Mike20_14]

now i still have to get a PSU and a case with an aprroximate budget of 160 USDs i found this PSU but i dont know if its a good 1 OCZ GameXStream 500W PSU

 

[Wolfshadw]

I was actually looking at the OCZ 600W PSU, if you can swing it. I'm biased against Cooler Master because I've had one that was supposed to be more than enough to power my graphics card (a number of years ago), but kept rebooting my system on me (mid-game). I switched to an Antec PSU and never had the problem again.

[Mike20_14]

well 600w will be overpriced is there a 550w if not ill get the 600w but ill need a slightly cheap case
Edit:i found a good 600w of the ocz for a good price
Solved for the PSU now i need a suitable case for like 70 to 80 usd and i have a question
if i get a 500 or 550wt psu a good 1 will it work

 

[Mike20_14]

here are some cases i found suitable for my budget: NZXT Guardian 921 RB Blue LED Case
NZXT M59 case
Antec Dark Two Hundred V2 (200 V2) case
Thermaltake Armor A60 Mid Tower Desktop Case

 

[Mike20_14]
