First time building a new pc need help

[Rzjzty]

Hello this my first time building my own pc
here are the specs for the build
Motherboard -Asus Strix X99 Socket LGA2011-v3

Processor-Intel Core i7 6800K - LGA2011v3 Broadwell-E Socket Processor (15M Cache, 3.4Ghz up to 3.60 GHz, 6 Core, 12 Threads, 140W)

PSU 650watt
Corsair

Ram-Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (1 x 16 GB) 3000 MHz - CL15 - XMP 2.0 DDR4

GPU-Zotac GTX 1080Ti Founders edition 11Gb

Case-Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower Gaming Cabinet (RC-1200-KKN1)

Please tell me that if they are all compatible with each other and also i want to they which liquid cooling which i get for this build .

I'd get 2 sticks of 8gb instead of 1 16gb stick (much faster)

create a parts list on pcpartpicker.com and it will automatically check for compatibility issues

Yes, all those parts are compatible. However, if you're open to it, here are a few suggestions of mine.

1. If all you're doing is gaming, I'd get the 7700k. The biggest benefits of the x99 platform are quad channel memory and extra PCIe lanes and it looks like you won't be using either.

2. If you're going to be streaming or doing some very heavily multithreaded tasks, a Ryzen 1700 or 1700X would probably be a better cost to benefit ratio.

3. You really don't need a case that big unless you're running a crazy SLI setup or custom watercooling, neither of which I would recommend for a new builder. I'd suggest getting a mid tower case for these components.

4. Unless the Power Supply is the RM 650, I'd suggest getting a different one. Some of Corsair's PSUs aren't high enough quality to justify their price.

5. That's a very expensive motherboard, you could get by with a lot less but it's your money.



If you let us know what you're doing with the PC we can give you suggestions for parts, might be able to save you some money.

If that's what you're doing and you live near a microcenter, I'd personally do a build like this

If you don't live near a microcenter, I'd either swap the 1700x out for an R5 1600/1700 and OC or build around a 7700k, but the extra cores on Ryzen would help a lot if you don't want to use quicksync.
