Compatibility Check Newegg

[slam999]

Hi I am building my first ever Desktop PC I have found a very good combo deal on Newegg, but I am bit worried about their tagline that combos compatibility is not guaranteed. I have cross checked the components myself and on pick a part. But, more opinions would make me feel better about this purchase. My major concerns are that there is enough power and there are enough ports for the front case ports and case fans. Thanks for all your help.

Yeah thats all compatible. However the power supply is junk.

What power supply would you suggest

what is the difference between a system fan header and a power fan header
the case itself uses 3 120mm fans

This is a very good quality psu I linked below for a good price. But then you couldn't get your bundle which is not a bad deal. If you still want to get the bundle then it should be okay as that computer wont draw much power but I would look into replacing the power supply as soon as you can I wouldn't trust that in my computer for very long, definitely replace it if you get a more power hungry gpu in the future or you decide to overclock your cpu.

Where did you read that? For plugging in fans usually you have one cpu fan header and a few system fan headers. I have never heard "power fan header" used before, all fan headers are powered.

when you say you would not trust the power supply do you mean that the power supply could die or I run the risk that it could short out other components
Thanks so much for your help, this is why I love the internet

Hmm had to look that one up. Apparently that's for hooking up the power supply fan if you have one, most power supplies dont have a fan connector its built into the power supply so you probably wont need to use it. You could use it for a regular case fan if you want.

Yes thats exactly what I mean. That power supply has very poor internal components that can cause unwanted ripple and voltage fluctuations this could cause instability and crashes if it gets bad enough and possibly even wear out your parts quicker. If you have dirty power in your area or have frequent power outages and surges then I would not trust that power supply to keep a surge from possibly damaging your other parts.
