Hi, I ordered components for my PC but turns out some of them were not compatible so I want to avoid making the same mistake again. Could you please tell me if the following parts are all compatible?

CPU: Intel i3 9100-F
Motherboard: Asus PRIME B360M-K (Socket 1151 (Coffee Lake) Intel B360 DDR4 Micro ATX)
RAM: G.Skill Aegis, DDR4, 16 GB, 3000MHz, CL16 (F4-3000C16S-16GISB)
Power Supply: Akyga Basic AK-B1-400
HDD: Toshiba P300 1 TB 3.5" SATA III (HDWD110UZSVA)
GPU: GTX 1650

These are all the main parts I believe. I have a case and CPU cooler. Please confirm if they are compatible or not. Last time my problem was that my CPU and Motherboard were not compatible so I hope this time I managed to fix it.

I believe 9100F is supported on Asus Prime B365M-K, since bios revision 0216 which it appears to be first bios release according to bios firmware page if you expand the download list. I say appears because 0212, an earlier bios version, is mentioned next to some cpus in the processor supported list so im not sure. Could always get a PC shop to flash your bios if not.

B365m-k

B360m-k, if you cross reference same as above, check bios first release under bios section then go to cpu supported list and find 9100f and compare bios revision number. There's a bit of a gap between first bios release and 9100f supported version...

What is your budget for this system? That PSU is sketchy, at best, and I really wouldn't choose a 9th gen chip, with 10th gen being out, much less a 4 core/4 threaded one.
Thing is that my CPU is already ordered so just wanted to make sure if motherboard is compatible. Could you please confirm that?

Sometimes the board will have a sticker on it, that shows the bios revision level. Sometimes the box will also. A build date is another way to determine whether you have an older revision or not. Any board made after 9/28/18 should have the necessary bios, as that was the date the bios revision was added, to include support, for that CPU.

Alright, I believe mine is newer than that. Could you please do me one more favour and explain what Coffee Lake Chipset is and whether it will work?

So you recommend I order the B365M-K over the B360M-K, right? Will 1151 coffee lake socket be ok?

So B365M-K is compatible with all my other parts listed above, right? Including the GPU.
