Could someone check to see if all of these components will work together for my new PC?

Hi guys,

I am currently upgrading my GPU but realising that I have to upgrade my PSU and motherboard, the PSUs I have been looking at wont fit into my current case.

So below I have listed all of the components that I have hoping to buy as long as they are compatible and all fit.

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-NVIDIA-Gaming-Graphics-Express/dp/B00NQ862GY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420296200&sr=8-1&keywords=gigabyte+gtx+970)

PSU: Corsair CP-9020054 Gold 650W (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FG9FWF8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00)

Motherboard: Asrock H61 Pro BTC Intel H61 (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-123-AK&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1965)

Case: Aerocool GT Advance Mid Tower (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aerocool-Advance-Tower-12cm-Screwless/dp/B00DDD1J24#customerReviews)

Thanks guys

it should be fine, but why is the motherboard h61? what cpu do you have?

The case supports ATX motherboards (http://www.aerocool.com.tw/index.php/chassis/gt/40-case/gt/911-gt-white-advance-edition-specs)

The Asrock H61 will fit perfectly
There is no problem with the GTX 970 either.
It's a very good PSU, and it will be enough for a single GTX 970.
All is good 😀

UPDATE:
As davidarad02 points out.. I hope that you know that your CPU fits..

Hi David,

I only have an i3 at the moment but i am planning to upgrade it in the future when i have the money to do so.

remember, if you will want to upgrade to a better cpu later on, you will need a new motherboard, as most intel cpu's these days use the lga 1150 platform, and will not be compatible with the mobo you are look at.

Could i not upgrade to something like this? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-443-IN&emcs0=2&emcs1=Produktdetailseite&emcs2=MB-123-AK&emcs3=CP-443-IN I think it will fit?

 

[davidarad02]

it will fit, but its still the ivy-bridge platform. if you were upgrading, moving to the haswell (lga 1150) platform would be a much better upgrade, and that wont fit

Could you recommened a motherboard that will work on my current CPU and one that i could upgrade to in the future such as the haswell?

there is no such motherboard, as the haswell and the ivy-bridge use different cpu sockets.

Is there really that much of a difference between the ivy bridge and the haswell? Becasue i was just thinking of upgrading it to an i5 and keeping the ivy bridge in the future

 

[davidarad02]

the haswell platform is more efficient, and yet more powerful. also, the haswell chipsets have more features like more usb3.0, m.2 and sata express support (on the z97 chipset), and various other handy features.

Oh sorry, as i wasnt a my PC whilst talking about it earlier, i have an Intel Core i3 2120 Sandy Bridge at the moment, does this change anything?

 

[davidarad02]

no, it does not change anything. that i3 is still lga 1155
