Is my pc compatible?

[david0684]

I am looking to [strike]purchase[/strike] building a new pc, and I want to know if all the pieces I've selected
are compatible. And if so are there any other money saving changes I could make to this
build?

• Intel core i5 7600k 3.8ghz quad core
• cooler master hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM sleeve bearing cpu cooler
• Asus h170 pro gaming atx lga1151 motherboard
• corsair vengeance LPX 16gb ddr4 - 3000 memory
• western digital black series 1tb 3.5 7200rpm hard drive
• MSI geforce gtx 1060 6gb Gaming x video card
• corsair 270 atx mid tower case
• corsair CXM 750W 80+ bronze certified semi modular atx power supply.

the mobo will need a BIOS update, i suggest u get a z270 series instead so u can OC your CPU
750w is an overkill for a 1060, get a 550w 80+ gold instead, it will serves u well even until GTX 1070
other than that, ur build is fine and solid

what happens if I do pick a 750w power supply will it affect my graphics card? will it overheat quicker?

So I have chosen the following changes. ( stared )

• Intel core i5 7600k 3.8ghz quad core
• cooler master hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM sleeve bearing cpu cooler
• Asus - TUF Z270 MARK 2 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard*************
• corsair vengeance LPX 16gb ddr4 - 3000 memory
• western digital black series 1tb 3.5 7200rpm hard drive
• MSI geforce gtx 1060 6gb Gaming x video card
• corsair 270 atx mid tower case
• Corsair - CXM 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ( There was no 80+ gold certified ) that I could find.***********

No, it's just plain useless...

To be honest Id go Ryzen for the same price. While the i5 is a great cpu since Ryzen released and modern games have started being able to use more CPU threads the i5 has started to look a little dated. We already know the next generation of i5's will include 6 core versions so even Intel know 4 cores isn't going to cut it in the future.
