Will this build be compatible?

[Amozzo]

Hi,

I am upgrading my PC and I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything and that everything is compatible. Here's the specs:

CPU - Intel i5 6500
Cooler - Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo
GPU - Palit GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
MOBO - Gigabyte H110M-DS2
PSU - Corsair CX600M
HDD - Seagate Barracude 1TB
SSD - Kingston Technology 120GB
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8GB 2666MHz 1x8

Remind me if I missed something, thanks in advance.

Yeah, looks like a great build to me. Maybe change the 120GB SSD +1TB HDD for a single 240GB SSD, but I don't know your storage needs.

all compatible

you dont need the evo with a locked i5 mate
That budget would be better spent upping the ssd to a 240gb model (120gb is barely enough) or upping the ram to 16gb.
the cx600m is not a very good psu.

the newer cx450m or cx550m would both be better choices ( & yes the 450w model is enough for your build)

ram wise - a pair of sticks performs better than a single stick, your board is limited to 2133mhz speeds - it doesnt mean you cant purchase faster ram ,it just means it will downclock to 2133mhz.

In essence buy the cheapest ram you can within reason,if 2400 or 2666 is cheaper than 2133 where you are (it sometimes is depending on markets) then obvously still buy it - just dont pay a premium for faster ram becasue it wont benefit you at all.
