Is this build compatible?

[jester12]

Hi everyone,

I recently discovered this website called pcpartpicker.com which allows me to select components for a desired build and etc. However I cannot verify the validity of the website in terms of its compatibility check because I am still new to it. Can anyone verify whether this build I have created is compatible or not?
Any tips on upgrading things or picking different components that might be better overall in terms of their value or performance?

Thank you.

Yup, all compatible, however, I could get a better part list put together for the money. One moment. Are you doing just gaming, or video editing/rendering?

Assuming this was for gaming (or everything else really), this would be better:

There are new 14-/16nm graphics cards arriving this Summer from both AMD and nVidia. Patience has its advantages.

I want to upgrade my specifications in a way that allows me to upgrade in the future without purchasing say another motherboard e.g. the Asus Sabertooth 990fx is compatible with gtx 980's and 980 ti's so if I ever have the spare cash to upgrade, I will not need to buy another motherboard after purchasing it. A corsair H80i GT will also be an ideal cooling system for the two GPUs and is a closed system without ever needing to be refilled. I know my current cooler of a stock AMD is suitable for a gtx 770 (with good ventilation and a cool environment) but If I was to upgrade my parts then obviously a better cooler is needed.

I guess my question is would I be better off investing in a better motherboard, cooler and cpu now then wait for the newer graphic cards arriving in the summer. I know i'll probably need to upgrade my PSU but that isn't such a huge investment. Again I'm in no rush and I'm just saving up at the moment for these opportunities. Intel processors are more expensive as we all know and I have a budget of 500 pounds to spend on a motherboard, cooler and cpu. The specification I outlined earlier just compatible with the motherboards, coolers and cpu I picked out but any CPU or GPU that's better i'll need to buy a new PSU. Would I be better off with an AMD processor or should I save up that little bit extra for an Intel Core i5 6600K and a possibly cheaper motherboard that is compatible with gtx 980's or beyond?
I.e. better and beyond in terms of a build such as this: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/Z7PxXL

I'm open to any options and opinions.

So does impatience.

Save your money and *tough* it out

The GTX 770 will push decent frames at 1080p, and has 4GB of VRAM. If you just have to SPEND --- buy some fancy cooling for your FX-8320. Your current mobo is not the highest of flyers when OC'ing but by keeping your volts down you should have no issues hitting 4.2GHz or higher with Turbo disabled.

The only other thing that leaps out ---- you might want to look at "higher-rez" fancy monitors.
