Is this build good, compatible and can it run modern games?

[Samuel_68]

Hi guys, I thought I would come to you for advice. I have this pc build that I have in mind. I was wondering if the components in it are compatible with eachother, will run most if not all games of this year. Please have a look and get back to me. If you could may you please tell me how compatible they are too, such as the cooling and such. Thank you https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/zQ3wHN

nice rig, if you can spare it I wqould give yourself the possibility to upgrade to 7xxx series CPUs later on by changing your z170 to a b250. since your current choice in cpu is not a 6500K you wont be able to overlock anyways with it, and the B250 doesn't lock you in a corner for later upgrades

Honestly, unless you have specific needs for it, remove the sound card and try to add a bit more for an SSD like the Corsair Force LE 240GB @ £71.99 @ Amazon.

Because the varied report in the wild that even a 6600k @4.5Ghz is 80% taxed when doing BF1 MP. You'd want the 7600+B250 (3.5-4.1Ghz) rather than the 6500 (3.2-3.6Ghz) +Z170.

 

[Isokolon]

Agreed sound card is pretty M check useless overkill
As is the CM Hyper for that CPU.

 

[ARICH5]

what is the sound card for? are you an audiophile? sound cards arent really needed nowdays unless you're into sound production and use DAW's

 

[Eximo]

I would change a lot on this build.

A) Don't get the Z170 board, but go ahead with the B250 or H270.
B) Lose the sound card
C) Better power supply would be nice.

I'll give it a re-build.

 

[Eximo]

Managed to add an SSD.

If you still want the Z class board, at least pick up a Z270 board so you have that extra bit of longevity.

Brexit was not kind to PSU prices in the UK, I must say. Been a while since I have done a UK build.

Here you go, you don't need to spend more than this.
Also @Eximo, if you think UK PSU prices are bad you should see the treatment we get in Aus.
