PC comparability Check

[Jtyee64]

Hi everyone, I'm extremely new to the building of PCs. From what I've read, comparability seems to be a very important issue when building a new PC. However, I'm finding it difficult to check compatability for all my components. I was hoping that someone with more experience can help me in checking my first PCs comparability

Here are a list of my components

Power supply:

EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 80+ GOLD, 850W ECO Mode Fully Modular NVIDIA SLI and Crossfire Ready 10 Year Warranty Power Supply 220-G2-0850-XR

If you use pcpartpicker.com and add your system there, you will get error message if there is something wrong.

Your Motherboard and CPU works, but motherboard and RAM does not fit, you got DDR3 1866, while your motherboard only supports DDR4 2133 or better.
Either get better RAM or a different motherboard that supports DDR3 1866


Here is some tips of what to look for:
Motherboard and CPU- check that the socket is the same. (in this case, LGA 1151)
Motherboard and RAM - DDR3 or DDR4 and what MHz
Motherboard and Case - check what size the motherboard is and what size your case support, such as ATX, mATX etc
PSU - check that you got enough Watt for your system. (850W is more than enough for 1 GPU, most likely supprots 2 GPUs)
GPU and Monitor - Would be nice to make sure your GPU and Monitor supports the same in and outputs

As stated, only problem is the ram, you need ddr4 ram

Also 850w Psu is overkill. That PC can easily run on 550w, but I'd recommend 650w for some headroom.
