Hello everyone, here I'm with my first attempt to build a gaming pc. There are things I would like to know before starting to buy pc parts, so here are a few questions:

  • Are all components compatible with each other, i mean if everything will work and connect together, like sockets, ram, cpu, psu, gpu, hhd, ssd on the motherboard?
    Is psu powerfull enough?
    Is case big enough to fit all parts?
    Is this build is capable of running games like Witcher 3, Fallout 4 etc. on decent framerates and high settings?
    Maybe there are better options for parts to choose from (of simiral price range)?
    Any advice or warrning, issues with componets that should i know when before using?
Thank you in advance.

That B1 power supply is not what to buy get the B2 version.
I would change the cooler to a Cryorig H7 to ensure no clearance issues with the memory.
The case needs to have at least 1 140mm front fan added blowing in, 2 of them would do better using that video card.
That V300 SSD is cheap for a reason I would try to get a Samsung or Crucial, in the 250GB area.
The main thing would be the power supply and adding the case fans.
More like this used the lower priced 212 cooler but changed the memory to low profile and to 2133 but tighter timings at 13.
