I have some questions:

Are these all compatible?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/K9WVf7

What in the cart should I make
Better? (Upgrade)

How many FPS would I get on minecraft high settings?

Fps on battlefield 4 ultra?

Does the motherboard contain the USB to plugin like a phone charger or something?

How do i make it a wireless pc not just wired?

How do i build it?

Anything else i should add like bluetooth or anything? (I want it to be like a prebuild pc with like wifi, usb, and stuff)


Will it work like any other pc?


What will i need to build it (screwdrivers) or anything??

Are these compatible??
There is like an error or it says something that says its not in the bottom "The G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell Refresh CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum."

Also will this PC have a HDMI/Ethernet/USB connections??

Should I make any changes?
Budget $1,300
 
I would go with 1866mhz ram instead to resolve that issue, the difference in speed isn't noticeable while gaming.

I tweaked the build a bit, and I got you a black/red colour scheme for the Case, gpu and RAM so enjoy the awesome colours. Even the motherboard has a bit of a colour scheme.

So should I just change the PSU and I'm good to go?
Also
Does the pc have USB/Ethernet/HDMI connections??
does it come with ALL of the cables to turn it on and stuff?
And will i be able to use it excessively?
 
YEs the motherboard has all those connections and it will come with sATA cables. The PSU has all the other cables.

Yes, change the PSU and you are good to go.

What do you mean "use it excessively"? Yes, it is a computer. Just use it. It won't like break down if you use it too much.

EDIT: Forget it, I was wrong.
 


Yeah, especially since the graph SAYS 970 power consumption 😛

Anyway, I've just seen the rather small writing that says "total system power consumption"...
 
Do you know any good USB wireless adapters? if you do can you send me a link from pcpartpicker? ive been trying to search but many of them have bad reviews on how they lose connection alot
 
Alright thank you! 😀 I have 1 more question
I posted my cart on twitter saying that Ima build it and someone tweeted me back with "8 gigs of ram? have fun putting the cpu cooler in haha"

Also how would I know if everything fits in the tower or even how would I know where everything goes? 🙁
