Hey everyone!

I'm thinking to upgrade my pc
My specifications will be
Intel i5 4440 3.1ghz,
8 gb ram Corsair vengeance 1600,
Gigabyte b85m-d3h,
Asus geforce gtx 760 directCu II OC,
Cooler Master thunder 600W psu,
(Cabinet please suggest).

So I just wanted to know whether all above items will be compatible with each other or not since this is my first upgrade and I'm no computer genius.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Also any suggestions are also welcome.

Agreed; Coolermaster is not a great pick.
Look for a tier 1 or 2 unit from this list:

For a case, I really like the Silverstone ps-07.

It has good ventilation, washable intake filters, and is quiet.
I built a pc using one because we needed a smaller sized case and it was a joy.

On the ram, buy a 2 x 4gb kit. Low profile version to clear any future cooler upgrades.

If you have not yet done so, look at a SSD for the "C" drive.

I will never again build without a ssd. It makes everything you do much quicker.
120gb is minimum, it will hold the os and a handful of games. If you...

Everything is fine except PSU. I would suggest you to go with Seasonic M12II-620 Watt PSU. It is an 80+ bronze certified modular PSU and Seasonic is well know for its quality and you will get 5 years warranty too :).

I don't.
I would defer on the hard drive unless you need to store large files such as video's.
It is easy to add a hard drive later.
Samsung EVO is a good choice.
Intel is OK too.

Asus gtx 760 http://www.flipkart.com/item/GRCDW75MBHFQMS3J

Gigabyte b85m-d3h

Psu still confused (seasonic s12ii 620w (out of stock) or Corsair vs650 (in stock))

Please tell whether all above said just now will be compatible with each other or not? Also if I go for Corsair vs650 will it be OK? Please do check the ram also whether will it be compatible with above said motherboard or not?

RAM will be compatible. Just wait for two days and get Seasonic PSU
