will this [url]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0092ML0OC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER[/url] power supply be compattible with this [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130651[/url] mobo and also will this graphics card be compattible with them both too. [url]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00966IREK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER[/url]
1st Link = power supply
2nd link = motherboard
3rd link = graphics card
yes, yes, and yes.
awesome also will it all fit inside this [url]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005869J4O/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER[/url] case
atx mobo in an atx mid tower case should be fine. make sure you clean up the cables though.
lol thanks for the quick awnsers!
Uh, you're looking at the most universally accepted things there.
Compatibility wise you're going to be wanting to pay attention to the
CPU->MoboSocket
Mobo->Case
GPU->Case (sometimes they're too long for some of the mid or small cases)
CPU Fan->Case
Ram Voltage->CPU (Not specifically going to stop it from functioning, but some CPUs will force 1.65V ram to downclock to 1.5V)
And When you've selected all of the parts you want, it's then good to make sure you're getting a good enough Power supply with enough output to run it. 600W will usually be fine for most builds, but some of the GPUs require 45 amps on the 12volt rail, so make sure to check and see if your GPU lists any amperage requirements.
Another thing is to get a GPU and CPU that are close enough to eachother performance that they won't bottleneck. If you get a hefty GPU or some seriously powerful Crossfire/Sli going, and you have some old Core Duo CPU, you're not going to get much out of it.
And be mindful of what you're using it for, too. If you're purely going to be gaming, an I5 is as far as you need to go along the Intel CPU line, a powerful enough I3 would actually suffice, and then you'd want to buff up on your GPU if great graphics are important to you. But if you're editting/rendering videos, mapping, doing sound engineering for the most part, but not so much gaming as much, you'd want to go for a better CPU (the I7 line is a bit better for rendering things that can take advantage of hyper-threading) and maybe save a little bit on the costs of your GPU.
Unless both of which are really important to you, in which you could just aim for top of the line in both GPU and CPU, if your budget allows for it.
Another thing, your CPU and GPU are not the only things that matter for speed. If you get a I5-4670K, it's not going to make your games load any faster, It won't make you boot faster, It'll tear through processing jobs as it gets them, but if you get a single 1TB 5400RPM drive, it's going to slow things down.
To counteract that, there are a couple options.
You could RAID a couple of HDDs, to increase their performance, you could buy an SSD to load specific things faster (usually you'd install your OS and maybe a few choice games on a small one), or you could go with a decent HDD or two with everything in it, and buy a small SSD for caching the programs/file that you use the most, Which would speed up your boot times, and help load all of your commonly used programs faster.
There's also HDD/SSD hybrids, you could use, but they don't allow you any real control over them in any way. For the best results on a modest budget though, a small SSD for caching or for your OS, and then getting a couple good 7200-10000RPM drives to put in RAID would give you really fast results all around.
That was a bit longer than I expected...
