So, I am making my first pc so I wanna know if the components I picked up are compatible and if everything its going to work well

(No, I didnt have them yet but these are the ones I selected)

Components:


Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor

Cooler Master V8 GTS 82.0 CFM CPU Cooler

Asus PRIME Z270-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory

Toshiba 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Xtreme Gaming Video Card

Cooler Master Storm Stryker (White) ATX Full Tower Case

Thermaltake 750W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Please tell me if something isn't compatible or if everything it's good

Thanks.

You're going to cripple that thing with DDR4 2133. I wouldn't do an unlocked Kaby build with less than DDR4 3200 and DDR4 3600 would be better.

Power supply could be better.

Also crippling it with no SSD. Get a ~500GB SSD and add a mechanical drive for storage in the future if you can't afford both.

Hi OxalFire,

Here is a link to pcpartpicker which I think could be a big help to you. Simply put all your parts in and it will find the lowest prices and tell you if they are compatible.

One suggestion I would make for your build is to maybe get a slightly smaller internal hard drive (1-2 TB), and invest in a smaller SSD (128 or 256GB) to use as a boot drive. You will notice a huge difference if you do this! Otherwise the build looks like it's coming nicely!

Hope this helps!

How about this ones?

G.Skill TridentZ RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory

Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

EVGA SuperNOVA G2 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
 
Much better RAM. I'd maybe pick another SSD as I just don't like Kingston. The SSD Now drives had problems when they were first released. To be fair they were fixed but I still don't trust the brand.

The power supply is great quality but way more power than you will need. You won't need more than 550w-600w for any single card setup. It won't hurt anything by being overpowered but you don't need it.
