Ok thx

Ok but I dont need to set up liquid or anything?
I have never understood/tried liquid cooled. All I know is I wonder how someone fitted it into a laptop

Would I have to set up the liquid cooler, because I don't know how or if I want to be liquid cooled

I looked at your build, and I made a lot of changes. This one will absolutely be compatible, and should perform very well.



In it, I have one of Intel's new quad-core processors, the i5-6600k. This bad boy can do some serious work, and you'll be able to overclock it very well with the Enermax Liqmax II 240 CPU cooler. I'd bet you could hit 4.0 or 4.3 GHz on it if you overclocked. It's powered by one of the new Z170 motherboards, a nice Pro4 from ASRock. Also slotted into the motherboard are 16GB of Kingston DDR4 RAM. It's nice and fast, and will keep you multitasking smoothly. Now, as for storage - I've opted to go for both speed and redundancy. I've included four 240GB SSDs in the system - essential for holding your main programs and your operating system. These SSDs should be run in a RAID 10 configuration - that is, a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1. This means that your drives will run faster but still be secure if one fails. I've also included a 2TB hard drive for your main programs. I've also added in one beast of a graphics card - the R9 390 by AMD. It is on par or slightly better than a GTX 970, and it still retains about the same price. It is able to max out basically every game on 1080p, and do some fairly heavy duty work on 1440p as well. You could even play some lighter games at 4k resolutions. Everything is contained inside the Corsair Air 540 case, a premium case which has a lot of airflow (hence the name) and should keep everything in your system very cool. Powering it all is an EVGA fully-modular 650w power supply with 80 PLUS Platinum ratings, meaning this beast will be very efficient. Of course, the whole thing can be run on a Linux distribution, but I included a copy of Windows as well. It should give you the ability to upgrade to Windows 10 once it's installed. All of this comes in about $100 cheaper than the prices you had originally listed - pretty awesome.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Good luck with your build!

As for your original question, however, yes the CPU and motherboard are compatible. Unfortunately, though, your RAM is not compatible with the rest of the system. Your hard drive will be pretty slow compared to most used today, and your SSD isn't very good and quite small.

Wait I used custom parts since i couldnt find it in the list easily. Will it still work?

Use PCPartPicker to put together a parts list. It does compatibility for you.

You need to get DDR3 memory, as LGA 1150 isn't compatible with DDR4. And if you don't have a flash drive and/or another PC to make a bootable Windows/Linux/whatever install disk, you'll also need a DVD drive. Otherwise, it's fine. Whether it's the best parts for your needs is up to you.
