Will it all work?!

[Zalure]

Hello all, Thank you for taking the time to read this first and foremost! and any help you may be able to lend.

So long story short, I've come to the point where I need to replace my motherboard, CPU and memory. I have little to no understanding of what works together, so I opted to buying a combo off newegg.

My aim is gaming, I have most new'ish titles and run them comfortably on the set up I have but something blew out and its time to upgrade anyway. I'm looking at - http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.2899080

I want to upgrade from my current 8gb of ram (4 sticks of 2gb) to 16gb. (current CPU & Mobo are non-functional, presumed dead)

I have a 700w "extreme gear" ATX Power Supply - PSAZ-CP700 model #.
GPU - GeForce GTX 780 3GB. (upgraded to years after purchasing initial PC set up)

A Corsair Carbide series 400R case.

Is that a good deal on a processor / mobo that would keep me gaming into the years with new titles? Will this all fit together?! What memory would be sufficient?! Is this all I should be looking to replace ?!

Sorry I know this is a lot to throw out there..

NO IT WILL NOT WORK!

Throw that PSU out a window and get a real one! If the PSU has a "minimum loading" specification, it should never be used in a computer. Go invest in a EVGA G2 650 or similar tier 1 (or maybe tier 2 if you must)

i do not recommend AMD at this time. the 8150 was a disappointment. there are bundles of it because people are trying to get rid of its inventory.

Not really.
From gaming perspective, an i5 would be way better. It will also cost you about the same while will serve you better and longer.

Depends on how cash strapped he is and what he's going to play. The AMD side tends to be ~25 less than an i5 6400+h110, and not far off if you overclock. Some exceptions of course.


And personally I would recommend an i3 6100 with h170 (~$200 total), it ends up being cheaper than the AMD and i5 but usually the same performance (and actually higher than the 6400/6500 for many games thanks to 3.7GHz clock as opposed to <3.5 for the other two)

Since when is $265.37 "6$" more than $211.97? Simple math tells us it's over $50 more!

OP posted a combo for 259$.
