Hello guys,

I have a knowledge of computers I would say.

But I want to build my own computer. And I want to make sure these parts will work all together.

Here are the parts:

Cooling System: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835494018

MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157512

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?

Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231884&cm_re=Memory_16Gb-_-20-231-884-_-Product

DVD/CD Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135304

DVD/CD Burner: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204

Sound Card; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102048

850W PSU (this one most likely, I'm not good with power management): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139141
OR
750W PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139142

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156334

Also, my current computer has a GTX 970 EVGA and I'm going to use it on there too, and I'm going to save up for this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H0WU884/ref=asc_df_B01H0WU8844488991/?tag=georiot-pcg-20&creative=394997&creativeASIN=B01H0WU884&linkCode=df0&ascsubtag=hawk-767156956-20

And I want to know if those two can be in there at the same time.
Thanks you guys!

I would not use that coolmax psu. Those are a fire hazard. Stock cooler is plenty, for a locked i5. If you want an aftermarket cooler, a cryorig m9i is plenty. H110 doesn't support ram speeds beyond 2133. I would go win 10 at this point. DX12 will require it. 6700k is kinda pointless, without a z170 board. My H170 is a stop gap, and will be replaced later this year, hopefully.

You cannot use a 970, and a 1070 together. What is your budget? I wouldn't recommend an 1150 rig, at this time. New rigs should be 6th gen, unless it is a cost cutting measure, because you are reusing your DDR3 ram, to save money. Also that ram is not compatible, with the motherboard. You can use this, to help avoid compatibility issues. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/

What are the full system specs, of your current system?
 
I'm 16 and am trying to find a job, so the budget it saving up lol.

I'll use tht website, that website is a blessing. Thank you!

CPU - AMD FX-4300 Quad-Core Processor
MOBO - MSI 760GM-P34(FX) (MS-7641)

Awesome! I'll get those parts and include my already existing ones to make an amazing computer! :) Thanks!

This was a big help!
Also, how do you know so much about this? How did you know those psu's were fire hazards, and how did you know ram speeds will be capped, etc. It's probably a simple google search, but if you don't mind, I'd like to know. :)

Thanks again!
