Please check my build

[Meooow]

So yeah, I'm pretty sure everything in this build is going to function, but I'd love if someone who's experienced in this stuff could go verify that.

So the build:
i7 4790K CPU
Strix GTX 970 GPU
Cooler Master: Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler
ASROCK Z97 ANNIVERSARY Motherboard
4x4 DDR3 RAM
Xfx 450W PSU
Zalman Z3 Plus Case

So my questions would be:
Everything is going to work with each other?
Is that motherboard going to handle some mild overclocking?
Is that cooler enough for some mild overclocking?
What's the thing with RAM frequencies? What do I need in order to work? Will this work?
Is everything going to fit well? RAM sticks wont block the cooler? (I don't have those RAM sticks with a high plastic or w/e on top of them)
Is everything going to fit to the case?
Anything else I should know? Please, let me know.

Any answers are highly appreciated, and keep in mind you don't have to know the answer to my every question to reply
Also keep in mind that I'm not trying to go super overkill with overclocking.

Thanks.

everything looks good and compatible although the hyper evo is a little low end for overclocking but if its just a little it probably can handle it, the case should have room left to spare

 

[Barty1884]

Everything appears compatible, although your PSU is possibly a little on the low side if you plan to OC.

The setup will pull ~350W theoretical max, so OCing can add a bit of an unknown quantity.

Have you already purchased everything? The time to ask really is before you do.

The 4790K is a tough sell today, with a new Skylake 6700K usually running a very similar cost.
A 970 isn't really the best buy in late 2016. A GTX 1060 can usually be had for similar (or less, new at least) and outperforms.

I have the GPU, RAM, PSU and Case already.
And I know the GPU and CPU are perfect for my needs, so no need to worry about that
And I get the 4790K for really cheap from a friend, so that's good. And I'm planning on keeping it for long, so won't be upgrading anytime soon.

And those Skylakes require ddr4 RAM, right? I don't want to pay for that. My computer needs aren't that hardcore.

Also, since the cooler is a bit low end, any coolers someone would recommend me?
Nothing too crazy, something quite cheap would be nice.

 

[Barty1884]

If you got a 4790K for cheap, then that's totally fine - usually Skylake + 100 series chipset + DDR4 works out about the same as Haswell+Z97+DDR3 the only reason I mention it.

The GPU though, if you paid retail price for that (~$200 at least), I'd return it if you can. A 1060 is a much better buy for the price. If you got it used/cheap, then same as the CPU, no big deal.

What are your needs specifically?

Having already purchased the GPU, RAM, PSU, Case & lined up the CPU.....what are you asking?

The cooler is not necessarily 'low end'. You won't be setting any overclocking records with it, but that doesn't matter to most.
A Cryorig H7 is usually similarin cost, and a little better in performance. Beyond that, it really depends if/how much you want to overclock.

The 212EVo or H7 are much better than the stock coolers and, if you want to run with stock speeds or modest overclocks, they'll be totally fine.

Got the 970 for $160, and I'm not going to play a lot of GPU intensive games.

My main question was just making sure that everything is compatible. And I'm not making a big mistake.
And everything seems just fine, I think got all the answers I need.

Or maybe one more answer would be cool, what does this mean?

Memory Types DDR3-1333/1600, DDR3L-1333/1600 @ 1.5V
↑ Says that here http://ark.intel.com/products/80807/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_40-GHz
My (old?) RAM sticks of which I posted that screenshot, will work. Correct? So what do those speeds there listed above mean?

 

[Barty1884]

I don't see a screenshot of your old RAM?
I'm not sure how to answer the speeds? That's the speed of RAM that is natively supported. The 4790K + Z97 chipset can actually run with higher speeds via XMP profiles..... just ensure you've got 1.5V RAM and not 1.65V (used in older AMD setups)

[Barty1884]

Again though, there's no screenshot?

I've answered what you'll need to work. DDR3, speeds of 1333 or 1600 MHz (officially, although higher speeds *should* work) and no greater than 1.5V.

Hyperlinked to the the word "this".
sorry if it was hard to see, and yeah I think I got the answer I need.

 

[Barty1884]

Apologies, it's been a long day :lol:

Other than being 'mixed', there shouldn't be any issues.

Some RAM does not 'play nice' with others, and it's always smarter to purchase a 'kit' (a single retail package), as those have been tested to work together perfectly.

In most cases, it'll be fine. If in doubt, check each module individually - they should all work, but you may find one or more of the modules don't simply 'work' with the others.

Ok, thanks a lot
