I am about to order the parts for my first ever PC build, and would like to double check that they are all compatible. Here are the parts:
CPU: i7-4790K
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 04G-P4-3969-KR 4GB
Motherboard: MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition LGA 1150
RAM:HyperX Fury White Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
PSU: EVGA 100-W1-500-KR 500W
Cooling: Corsair Hydro Series H55 Quiet Edition
Case: Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-03
Storage: Kingston SSDnow V300 series 2.5" 240GB and Seagate Barracuda 7200.14ST3000DM001 3TB
OS: Windows 10 64-bit

I will be very grateful for help, any helpful answers will be appreciated. Also, one other question: will I be able to overclock the CPU with this cooler?
Thanks for any help.
 
if you can replace the kingston ssd with a evo 850 or a scandisk unit. both are better units then kingston rebranded unit. on your power supply swap it out for a 650w unit. the 500-550w may meet the min of a power supply cal but you want to have some extra wattage on the 12v rail. if you push a power supply to close to the max amps on any of the rails it can over heat or ripple out. buying a unit that over sized when gaming keep your rig stable and lets you add a larger gpu latter without replacing the power supply. if your going to upgrade the gpu latter with the pascal units come out next year buy a 750w unit it be over sized for anything. if your going to overclock you may be able with the smaller water cooler. most over clocker use the units with the 120mm or larger rads or they use large air coolers. look at the thermal cooling that the unit is listed. the haswell cpu stock under normal load are 88-90w in thermal heat that a stock cooler has to meet. if the little cooler only 120w max cooler then your not going to over clock much.
