Just a quick note, on pcpartpicker I cannot find some of the parts which is why I have come here. I do not know if that is just my problem or general one but I would be very happy if someone helped me. I will also take any recommended changes because I am a new pc builder.

Thanks for helping.

Motherboard and CPU are not compatible. Motherboard only supports 6th and 7th gen CPUs, your CPU is 8th gen.

How about this motherboard: https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-PRO-Socket-Chipset-Motherboard/dp/B075NFFNPJ/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1527622298&sr=1-1&keywords=Z370-A+PRO

Also, the RAM is not that great, can you manage this one instead? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMK8GX4M2A2400C16R-Vengeance-2400MHz-Performance/dp/B019HVND88/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1527622518&sr=1-3&keywords=DDR4+corsair+2400
 


Obviously the person has a budget, you can't just go recommending parts that are so much more expensive. Here's the replacement motherboard.
