Hi,
I'm building a new pc (actually my first pc build) and I've decided to put these parts together.
Intel Core I5 6600K
MSI Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 2GBG DDR5 OC
MSI H110M Pro -VH 6th Generation DDR4 Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 1TB Internal Hard Drive
Corsair VS550 Power Supply
Asus Internal DVD Writer DRW-24D5MT
8GB DDR4 Kingston HyperX Fury Black Series 2133 MHz DDR4 CL14 288 Pin-DIMM Memory - HX421C14FB/8
and a cabinet and a monitor of my choice.
Are all the parts compatible with each other? Is the power supply enough to take the load of these components? Are the motherboard, processor and RAM compatible? And if there are any more problems I could face with this build, tell me.
Thanks in advance.
You could ask me for more details.

Okay, so your budget is roughly equivalent to $975 USD. Is your monitor and case coming out of that budget? If it isn't, you could put a better graphics card in there.

Staying within the price points of the pieces you listed originally, CV_Taihou really nailed...

That motherboard does not overclock. So you should either switch out the cpu for an I5-6600, and leave out the K. Or switch to a mobo that is capable of overclocking, which is the reason for getting a 6600K in the first place. You need a cpu cooler for that cpu, as it does not come with a stock cooler.

Plug your components into pcpartpicker.com and see what's compatible.

Here's your build based on pcpartpicker:

It would be helpful to know what your budget is for this.

This is a nice build. I wasn't venturing too far down the telling the OP how I'd spend his money until I knew more of what he was seeking. :) I'm a huge fan of the EVGA Supernova G2's. Besides all their technical greatness, I simply love the fully modular unit. Makes my cable management so much easier.I usually get the 750w, in case I plan to SLI, or future gpu's come in at higher wattage requirements. I figure inside components might change over time, but the case and PSU could be around for quite some time.

Each of the components selected are very highly rated, and about the best you could put into your case.

Yeah 975 USD is equal to around 65000 inr i.e. roughly same as my budget. I'm also getting the monitor and case in that budget with the msi gpu. Will a Corsair CX430 be enough for this build? Monitor will (maybe) dell s2216h that will be around 134.355$ or 9000inr. And leaving psu and processor (i5 6600 onlu) , I could not change any other part because parts in India are costlier than what they are in USA.

Couple points. That PSU is terrible. Do not buy it. Look at the Toms Hardware PSU tier list and get a tier 1 or 2. And don't waste the money on the 6600. The 6500 will do fine for gaming
