Need help with compatibility :D

[spazattack23]

Hey guys, I have always been an xbox gamer and recently have wanted to get into pc gaming. I'm looking into building a rig and know somewhat about hardware but could use some help before blowing money, I just need to know if what I have picked is compatible and what else I should buy that would be compatible. I am currently looking at a:
--Corsair Obsidian 350d mATX (Case)
--ASUS MAXIMUS VI GENE LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard (Motherboard)
--Vengeance 4GB dual channel DDR3 memory (Ram)
--AX760 ATX (PSU)

So now I need to choose a CPU and GPU, I'm looking to spend around 150-200$ per item. I like to game but don't need the HIGHEST end graphics card..

thanks guys!

You have the 1150 socket so in that price range this is a good option as long as you don't plan to OC http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116896

As for GPU its what you need to make sure not to slack on if you want to game. I suggest this:

Everything should be compatible.

Just be aware, the Corsair AX 760i with the GA-Z87X-OC and GA-Z87X-OC FORCE are incompatible.

I quickly realized that... løl.

There's no need to get a motherboard that expensive.

You could give us your budget and we could come up with a recommendation for a whole build?

The PSU and the two Mobos

Look down the page, the post by Dino22, it's an official fix from Gigabyte to make the PSU compatible with the mobos. It's a resistor that causes it

I popped that damn graphite micro resistor myself and fixed it 😛

But that AMD Radeon chipset isn't compatible with my intel motherboard right?

Yeah I was just looking at that motherboard because it had the color scheme that I wanted and also had plenty of ports, if you can find a motherboard that is intel and red/black color scheme for cheap that'd be great. I only plan on one PCIe slot and I want 4 DDR3 ram slots, besides that i think that's it. As far as budget goes, I'd like to keep the whole build under 1,000$

AMD Graphics Cards do work with intel boards just fine.
