Fix PC Build

[Fez___]

Hi, I'm looking to build a PC and have put some parts together. However it is telling me that my motherboard does not have any 3.0 headers. Could someone please try and fix this or make some adjustments to my build?

Thanks.

Since you seemed to intentionally be stuffing a bunch of corsair stuff in this build i kept to corsair parts, and i matched the motherboard to the gpu, so it's a black/red build.

The motherboard will actually manage an fx8 core (your prior motherboard would not); and the cpu cooler will allow you to overclock. Personally not a fan of this build. the prices of power supplies, even junk ones are outrageous in the UK. I also ended up adding £85; in no small part thanks to the power supply

The PSU & case are bargains - a superflower for £40 is unheard of.
The ud3p is IMO the best 970 series board around.
The themis is an insanely good cooler for £20

Assumed a budget of £600 SK dropped a ssd in there , remove it if you like - personally I'd keep it.
