First computer build....going high end...need multiple opinions

[lastgnslingr]

First off, thanx to all the peoples that take the time to read and answer on here; I've learned a ton in a short amount of time. That being said; I'm still a newb and am in need of professional opinions. Here's where I'm at:

Case: Corsair Graphite Series 780T Full Tower PC Case - White (CC-9011059-WW​)
MOBO: MSI Computer ATX DDR4 3000 LGA 2011-3 Computer Motherboards X99A GAMING 7
PCU: Intel Boxed Core I7-6700K 4.00 GHz 8M Processor Cache 4 LGA 1151 BX80662I76700K
Graphics: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB SSC GAMING ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling w/ Free Installed Backplate Graphics Card 04G-P4-3966-KR
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Elite 16GB Kit (4GBx4) DDR4 2666 (PC4-21300) SR x8 Unbuffered DIMM - BLE4K4G4D26AFE​A / BLE4C4G4D26AFE​A
PSU: Corsair HXi Series, HX1000i, 1000 Watt (1000W), Fully Modular Power Supply, 80+ Platinum Certified
SSD:Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E250B/AM​)
HD:WD Black 2TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD2003FZEX
OC:Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit System Builder OEM | PC Disc

I would like to know if it's all compatible, if i can trim fat, if any of it's junk, will it all fit, what am i missing, and if theres a way better component at the same price point (ish). Seeing as all of this is subjective I'd be happy to hear multiple opinions. Thanx again.

Many problems here. CPU and motherboard are incompatible. No cpu cooler(cpu doesnt come with one). PSU is massive overkill and the system is very unbalanced for a gaming rig? Whats your budget and location?

Around 2000 for my budget...and im in S. Indiana......ps, waht makes them incompatible? What would i look for when shopping that would tell me that? And I'm thinking over kill on psu because every upgrade/addition potentionally uses more power and i was hoping for long term functionality.....am i thinking wrong? and would it actually hurt anything?

Your motherboard has socket LGA 2011-3, your cpu is socket 1151. If you want to keep the mobo, your best bet will probably be the 5820K or 5960x. If you want to keep the cpu, you will have to choose for a LGA 1151 motherboard. The system will use aroud 300W under full load, I guess so yeah. The psu is definitely overkill. You will only need this type of psu if you go 980Ti's in SLI or something. For almost every single gpu system 500-600W will do perfectly fine. Then this psu will still be overpowered I guess. I would change the graphicscard if I were you. It's such a shame to use a powerful i7 with this low-mid-range gpu. I would go for a 980/Fury preferably, 970/390(X) otherwise.

What about this build?

The psu is still quite a bit of overkill.

Motherboard(2011-3) and cpu(1151) are different sockets making them incompatible. Does that $2000 budget include the monitor mouse and keyboard or just the tower and OS?

 

[bignastyid]

If its just the tower and OS

Its win 8.1 pro but the key can be used to activate win 10 pro and its $15 cheaper.

Looks solid as far as I can tell...I guess there are no bells or whistles for my extra 165? And would all this work in the case I picked? Kinda feel stupid saying it but I liked the looks.

Here's a black and white build that will go better in the white case with upgraded storage options.

Awesome...since I got you helping me I have another question.....before I do this build with a couple thousand dollars on the line I was going to do an up grade on my store bought HP....I tried a thread asking for help but all I can get are people telling that its a bad idea....even though I statrd that in the title....im a carpenter....I kno the folly of starting a job with thousands of dollars in material without being familiar with the tools and processes....would you help with the best I can do with a crappy start? The computer will go to my kids, the oldest is ten...think gaming an school....I knoe I can't do much but its worth it to learn...its an HP...model h6510f....id spend 400 but less would be ok if thats not necessary.

Too much would need to be replaced in that old HP. The case will have horrible cooling and would need a mobo, cpu, and ram swap atleast. You could possible reuse the HDD and optical drive, but will need a new OS if you are still using the preinstalled OEM copy on the HP as its tied to the hp motherboard.
