Need help first time computer builder Newb

[Fromagic]

Hello i am kind of new to the whole pc building world and i recently just started to building my first one so the questions i have been looking to get answered was will a AMD RX 480 be compatible with a i5 6500 and also would anyone mind taking a look at my build list below

CPU - Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master 212 EVO (I would like to get the red led version but PcPartpicker says it won't fit in the case)
Motherboard - MSI Gaming Intel Skylake H110 LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 Micro ATX Motherboard (H110M Gaming) (Purchased)
Memory - 2x 8gb of corsair vengeance DDR4
Case - Corsair Carbide Series Spec - 01 red (Purchased)
Power Supply - EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

Looks good! Your PSU is a bit unreliable though, and make sure you dont get above 2133MHz RAM, but apart from that it's a good build. You dont need an aftermarket cooler either as the 6500 comes with one.

Well, we will need some storage. Also, no need to use the 212 EVO as the stock cooler will be just fine. I can imagine this is a budget build. You don't want to go too cheap on parts.

yes apologies i have a 1tb seagate already along with a SSD 120GB also what PSU would you recommend

http://pcpartpicker.com/product/TgW9TW/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii520bronze Fully modular, and Seasonic are very very reliable. I wouldnt skimp on a PSU.

Alright thanks i will give this a go also i am running on a $800 build budget a little over if needed

 

[Multipack]

I wouldn't get the old CX Corsair myself. It's only semi-modular and Tier 4 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html?_ga=1.151155836.499395850.1474638331

The one I linked is $10 more, fully modular and Tier 2.

Alright thank you both and do you guys know if the i5 is compatible with the amd rx 480 or do i need to get a different video card

 

[Multipack]

Any card is compatible with any CPU, its the motherboard that you need to check really, but all Skylake boards are compatible with an RX 480 and the i5 6500 will work well with it yes.

ok thanks again just trying to make sure i get everything right

 

[Multipack]

Good plan. Always best to check everything well before you buy.

alright last question then I'm going to put this thread as solved looking at the MSI RX 480 i have noticed 2 different styles of the graphics card the single fan and then the dual fan versions is the their a difference except for price cause personally on a aesthetic look i like the single fan version and wouldn't mind spending a few extra bucks for it

 

[Multipack]

It doesnt make a huge difference tbh. Is hard to say exact differences without knowing which models but the two fans will keep it a bit cooler than one fan is the simple answer.

If you want to overclock it and really push it to the extreme then it'd be better to have better cooling as you may be able to OC it a little more but they are not going to sell a card that doesnt keep itself cool in normal situations.
