Compatibility of Parts

**Tongera** · September 07, 2013, 04:19 PM

Finally got the parts together ready to create a computer, done research on the parts and it seems all correct and compatible (with the exception of the RAM and Graphics Card, which I am unsure about) and I just want to make sure it is all correct and compatible before it comes out of the box (I can take it back if it is still in the box): Novatech Vortex Power Case. Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H Motherboard. Intel Core i5-4670k CPU. MSI GTX 770 Twin Frozr Gaming Graphics Card. Caviar Black 1TB 64MB 7200 RPM SATA HDD. Sandisk SSD SATA III 64GB. Akaska Silent Cooling Fan. Novatech Powerstation 750W MOD PSU. Corsair LP Vengeance BLU 2x4GB DDR3 RAM. CM Hyper Tx3 Evo Cooler. As far as people can tell, are these parts compatible and will work fine with each other? Thanks. Edit: I tried to make it easier to read, but it won't allow me to put each of the parts on a separate line. Apologies

the only thing questionable is the psu and what cooler are you going to use?

crazy should appear and give info, its been such a long time that I don't build desktops that I don't know the cases anymore

I think the RAM model number is CML8GX3M2A1600C9B, but shouldn't any DDR3 RAM fit into the motherboard I currently have? The cooler I am going to use is a CM HYPER TX3 EVO Cooler: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...-034-CM&tool=5 and the PSU is a Novatech Powerstation 750w Modular Power Supply: http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/c...ov-psb750.html, links to the product is supplied.

Ram will fit, but if its not on the list it might not work.

I dont care much for the PSU its essentially a knock off OCZ modxtreme Pro which were mediocre at best however they are not terrible however I would suggest a better PSU

you might have a 750w Novatech but all that system will need is a 550w to be safe and a better quality 550w will last a lot longer than the 750 novatech

Ram will be fine, 99% of the time its a non issue as RAM is usually programmed with JEDEC specs AND XMP profiles XMP = loads the 1866 / 2133 etc memory profiles while Jedec = 1333 or 1600 mhz by default without needing to be setup. Eitherway not a big deal'

1333-1866 will work no problem
