Hello guys
i have saved up some money to build a Gaming PC but i am curious whether these are compatible or not ??
take a look at specs

Intel Core I5 4460
MSI h97
Corsair Vengeance 8 gb ram
Asus GTX 960
Corsair CS 650m
Gigabyte Luxo x10
Seagate 1tb sata 3

These are the components which i will buy in end of march 2015.
Kindly check these are compatible or not
don't want issues like low power input (PSU) or other things like bios update i want this PC to just Build and play without any problem
Thanks
-Hadi

P.S my budget is 700$

Corsair CS series are tier 3. Not too bad, but you can do better:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

Consider the following supplies:
XFX TS 550 or any other XFX 550W supply
Rosewill Capstone 550
Antec HCG 520
Seasonic M12II 620 (or 650 is even better)
Seasonic G 550 or any other Seasonic 550W supply

Your 8GB of RAM should be a 2x4GB kit. A 2x8GB kit would be even better if not too expensive.

On the graphics card, the GTX 960 is a good mid-range choice.
The AMD Radeon R9 280 mentioned above is slower but has 3GB of video memory. Which card is better will depend on the game.
The AMD Radeon R9 280X is faster and has 3GB of video memory, so it is a good choice.
The Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 is fantastic, but quite a bit more expensive.
If using the AMD cards, jump up to a 620W or 650W model of the supplies listed above as these have considerably higher power usage.

i dont have much i have choices from corsair , thermaltake . cooler master
so it is the best i can get for PSU you can choose PSU from here www.saqiscity.com
and i don't prefer AMD Currently using hd 5670 with core 2 duo and there drivers are S*!T
so my cousion using GTX 560 ti with nvidia driver and they rocks all i need is advice of components compatibility not on hardware guys

If u guys can made me A PC build for 115,000 PKR = $1140

in this budget i need Speaker , mouse , keyboard , moniter all things with CPU

The Build should be made through this site www.saqiscity.com

When you ask about compatibility you are always going to get observations on components that are poor quality or poor choices as well.

The Nvidia/AMD thing is entirely up to you. I think they are both viable options under the right conditions. Just don't be expecting ultra graphics settings with the GTX 960.

The power supplies recommended above are very good quality for their price.
If sticking with the three brands you have mentioned, look at the Corsair TX 650 or Corsair HX 650.

I mentioned the RAM earlier as well. "Corsair Vengeance 8 gb ram" doesn't really tell us much. The CPU has a dual memory controller and you are crippling RAM throughput if using only one dimm. A DDR3-1600 2x4GB kit would be a good choice. You can choose faster memory if you want to enable an XMP profile in the bios. New games are starting to list 6GB as minimum so personally I would opt for a 2x8GB kit to give some future proofing.

The processor has two memory channels.
If you use only one dimm, one of the memory channels is unused.
Using two dimms allows both memory channels to be used, doubling the effective memory bandwidth.
If you were looking for a downside I guess you could say marginally higher power usage to run the second dimm, but this is not consequential.

XMP profiles specify the speed and timing for RAM.
If you use DDR3-1866 or faster memory with a Core i5-4460, the RAM will default to DDR3-1600 speed.
The XMP profile will override this so that memory runs at the manufacturers specified speed.
Note that this is over clocking the memory controller in the CPU but generally DDR3-1866 or DDR3-2133 will run stably with these CPUs.

Photo of the memory shows the front and back of the dimm, possibly innocently or possibly to fool people into thinking it is a 2 dimm kit. Either way, this is just one stick of DDR3-1866.

The Cooler Master Silent Pro 550 is tier 3 just like the Corsair CS series. 80 plus gold rating is nice, but you'd be better with an 80 plus bronze supply that was better quality.
I'll link the tiered list again:
