[SOLVED] Is my setup good? Before I start building

[labprofess]

Hi all,
can anyone skim over my setup and tell me if its good or if theres flaws and such on notices such as compatibility issues? Thanks!

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Z490-PLUS GAMING (WI-FI)
CPU: i5-10600K
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S (a bit OP, but wanted to get the best one)
Graphics card: NVDIA 1070
Fans: Be quite! Pure wing 2, 120mm (6 fans - 2 top, 1 back, 2 front, 1 bottom) I am aware I need to buy 2 3pin splitters each carrying 3 fans
Power supply: Be quite! pure power 10 500 watt (gifted from a friend so preferably use it as I got it already)
Case: Shinobi case (gifted from a friend so prefeably use it)

Ill figure RAM myself , thats a easy google search.
Thanks everyone!!!

The Bitfenix Shinobi case is fine. It was a pretty good case for it's time a few years ago.

The PSU isn't great, but it could be worse for sure.

CPU is obviously MANY generations old, but is compatible with the motherboard and you already are aware that it's old and it isn't a new purchase anyhow so hard to argue against it, for now anyhow.

As far as the memory is concerned, that's NOT an "easy one" as you seem to believe. MANY members come through here and learn the simple truth which is that just because a platform requires "ddr4" and you GET "ddr4" does not mean it's going to work. There are definite restrictions on memory speed which are primarily determined by the motherboard chipset, but also by the CPU to some degree, but of FAR more importance is the fact that not every "compatible" memory kit is going to work with every motherboard. Some memory is simply not well tolerated by some boards or CPUs. Verifying compatibility, for example, by using the Corsair memory finder or G.Skill memory configurator, are the BEST ways to make sure that the memory is going to play nice with any given board.

I'd find something from what's listed here, and refine your choices by selecting the amount of memory, number of sticks, speed, etc. on the left side menu. Corsair's memory finder utility will give you similar options based on motherboard model.
