The corsair VS series are bad, get a GOOD tier 1 or 2 power supply from the list I posted.


This one is good:

That i7 you picked is not compatible, you need to get the i7 6700k

if you want a "k" series cpu you need a z170 based motherboard to take full advantage of it's potential



avoid the seagate's


get a western digital blue or black series hard drive



also with a good z170 motherboard you can get a full speed M.2 slot, so drop the regualr 850 ssd


and get a samsung 950 pro

m.2 drive, they are a LOT faster
 
For example like in this case, meaning of socket 1151 means that only with socket 1151 CPU fits in that MB. It has nothing to do with GPU. Usually the newest MB has PCI-E for GPU. You have to check if your MB has that PCI-E, cause your GPU is pretty new.
 



so this motherboaerd is better ? https://www.komplett.dk/product/850576/hardware/bundkort/intel-socket/msi-z170a-gaming-m5-socket-1151
 


as i said im new to this so where do you put the samsung 950 pro ?
 


yes
