Earlier today I decided I was going to build a custom PC. So I started to pick out the component on Amazon as it's easier to buy the part's however, I have come to a halt as i don't know if the components I have chosen will be compatible with one another.

I have also chosen a Corsair CP-9020078-UK Builder Series 750W CS750M ATX/EPS Semi-Modular 80 Plus Gold Power Supply Unit as I don't know whether to use my co-existing EVGA 600w power supply with any of the components listed as I think my old EVGA 80 plus Power supply would be enough. In, addition to this the motherboard I have chosen doesn't give me any confidence whether I can fit the board into an NZXT H440 mid case and if any of the RAM is compatible and would work well.

I am open to all recommendations on the components but I would still like to keep the CPU and 32G of DDR4 RAM with the red and black color scheme. I am also going to be using a GTX 970 as well as the GTX 1080. Could someone provide me with assurances that what they recommend with be compatible and if my build is compatible please help improve it.

Thanks!

Go here http://pcpartpicker.com/list/

and pick all your parts. You can choose your country at the top and you can even go in the settings and tell it to only choose amazon for you.

The true good thing aobut it is that it will answer all your questions. if your board is too big or the ram is wrong kind or the psu isn't even, it will tell you about any incompatibilities.

I changed the mobo to a Z170 board (to OC your CPU) and your liquid cooler to a more up-to-date one. And I changed the crappy PSU to a high quality one.

Good luck! 😀
 
You need a Z170 based motherboard for overclocking.
32GB of RAM is overkill. 16GB is plenty.
Your old EVGA PSU is fine.
The 120GB SSD is too small. A 240GB would be better.
The water cooler is not required. A good heatsink will work fine. If you want liquid consider a nice open loop.
A GSync monitor to go with that 1080 would be great.

Just a few things and tips I noticed. Overall a nice build but needs a little tweaking.
 


Well, you got 3/5 of your statements right.

That EVGA is low-quality and is not recommended for this build.

An open loop would be even worse price-performance ratio than a AIO. The AIO is fine.
