Hello internet,

I want to build this computer:

Motherboard: MSI B150 PC MATE, Socket 1151
CPU: Intel® Core™ I5-6500, 3.2GHz, Skylake-S, 6MB, Socket 1151
OS HDD: Kingston SSDNow UV400, 120GB, SATA III
HDD: WD Blue 1TB, 7200rpm, 64MB cache, SATA III
GPU: MSI GeForce® GTX 1070 AERO OC, 8GB GDDR5, 256-bit
RAM: Kingston 16GB, DDR4, 2133MHz, CL15, 1.2V
Power source: Inter-Tech Booster 520W (I will be changing this one in a few months)
WIFI board: TP-LINK TL-WN781ND, PCI
Case: Spire X2 SPITZER 22, ATX Mini Tower

I want to know if these pieces will work together. Any other suggestions would be really helpful. Do mind that this is my whole budget. I can't afford more than the combined prices of the items above. Thanks!

That looks good but I would strongly suggest getting a better PSU now. Preferably a RECENT one from EVGA or Seasonic... especially if that one you have is being reused. Though rare, you could have the PSU fail and fry the components inside like what happened to my old machine.

I suggest an EVGA G2, or Corsair CX-***M PSU.
 


if you get a corsair CX make sure it is a black and gray model, not the older and far inferior black and green
 


Okay. I get what everyone here is saying. How about a Corsair VS550 at 550W? I'm already going a bit over my budget. CX-series are a bit pricy - that's why I would've wanted to wait a few months.
 


Could you write down your budget?
Plus I would advise you to switch OS HDD to an SSD which will be way faster, maybe get a cheaper case if you want, and replace PSU as everyone says.

Dunno what you were using for a CPU cooler, but I always swap off stock in a heartbeat. If this brings you beyond the $1000 mark and you wanna swap off it's all your choice. But if your budget was $1000 then it would work... also I forgot to include the ssd and probably other things whoops
