First PC Build

[Andrew_126]

I'm looking to build my first pc. How do these components look? Are they all compatible?

MSI Gaming Intel Skylake H110 LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 Micro ATX Motherboard
Intel i3 6100 3.7 ghz
Geforce gtx 950 2gb ssc
Kingston HyperX FURY Black 8GB 2133MHz DDR4
Corsair CX Series, CX500, 500 Watt (500W) Power Supply, 80+ Bronze Certified
Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD

WHAT IS YOUR BUDGET? that will determine how everything works. Also what is your MAIN PURPOSE of the build
remove the CX500 because it is low quality and not reliable. It is mish more efficient to get an XFX TS 430 or TS PSU or any HIGH QUALITY PSU.
get a tier one or 2 http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html.
and also that CPU can be paired with a higher end GPU because of how good it is. Getting an R9 380 or GTX 960 4GB will further increase what you can do. Also, do you actually plan to use an SSD for everything? you can use an SSD as a boot drive, preferably a 240GB, at least 120GB and have a 500/1000 GB HDD as main storage. For some cheaper RAM, get the Crucial ram https://pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial-memory-ct8g4dfd8213 its cheaper and performs exact same. it has no heat spreaders, but it will not get that hot anyways. get a single stick for budget and leaving room for another is an option.

You can use the money of the 500GB SSD to improve the build by miles. Other parts way more important.

My budget is about 600. And the purpose would be primarily for gaming. So ditch the ssd for a smaller one (add a hard drive), get a better psu, and maybe upgrade the gpu?

If your budget is 600 with a case included, this would be my aim.
