Hello, recently I decided I needed to get a good gaming PC. One that could run most games on a high setting so I went on PC Part Picker and made a build that came to 1200 pound which is in my budget. However, I don't want to buy all these parts to then find out they are not compatible with each other. Especially at the price I am paying. So it would be cool if you guys could check to see that all these parts are compatible. Here are all the parts:

Processor:

i7 4790k

247.66 pounds

Processor Cooler:

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

28.74 pounds

Motherboard:

Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H

55.00 pounds

RAM:

Hyper X Fury Series 8GB

39.42 pounds

HDD:

Seagate Barracuda 1TB

38.69 pounds

SSD:

Intel 530 Series 120GB

64.04 pounds

Graphics Card:

Nvidia GTX 980

406.97 pounds

Case:

Cooler Master NSE-200-KKN1

28.23 pounds

Power supply:

Corsair Builder Series 600W

62.43 pounds

DVD Writer

Samsung DVD Re-Writer

12.48 pounds

Fan

Corsair CO-9050006 Fan

22.00

Monitor

LG 22MP55HQ

127.00

Keyboard

Logitech Keyboard K120

11.12 pounds

Mouse

Gigabyte Mouse M5050

5.39 pounds

Speakers

Logitech Z506 Speakers

66.89 pounds

Operating System

Windows 7

30 pounds

Total

1171.17

Price with the i7 Processor

1246.06

So how does it look? Is everything compatible?

Also will I need a network card or something to connect to the internet wirelessly?

Anyway thank you very much for any feedback you give me, it would be very appreciated.

That build could do with some work to be honest.

GTX 980 isnt worth the premium, PSU is poor along with the cooler.
What is your budget and currency? (Pound sign does not work normally, use GBP abbreviation)
Do you need a monitor?
Do you need a keyboard?
Do you need a mouse?
Do you need an operating system?
What will you use the PC for?
Will you be overclocking?

Answer the above so we can put a build together for you.

That build doesn't look the best.

I would answer the above question and wait for a better build.

Compatible, but terrible. If you made this on PCPP, you could've just used a link instead of writing it all out.

Unlocked CPU on a B85 chipset motherboard? Completely nonsensical. GTX 980 is not worth the premium over a 970, but a 390 would be a wiser choice. R9 390 offers GTX 980 performance for a little less than the cost of a GTX 970. You're spending more than you should on an SSD, you could get an SSD with twice as much storage for the same price.

My budget is 1200 pounds
Yes I need a monitor
Need a keyboard and mouse
Yes I need an operating system
Used for high performance on games
Probably not overclocking

I thought the build was good lol

That build looks alright but the monitor is ridiculously expensive. Might do that with an i7 and a cheaper monitor..

Thanks for the reply

That monitor is a 1440p monitor, it's not just any old 1080p monitor lol. The 390 is pretty much a 1440p card. So gaming at 1440p is a no brainer. I'd keep the monitor he suggested.

It's not "ridiculously expensive" at all, it's very well priced actually. An i7 would be a waste, especially since you have no interest in overclocking, and are using the rig for gaming.

I can't tell the difference between a 1080p and a 14440p monitor and wouldn't be that bothered even if I could. I am happy with the monitor I chose. Just the PC I want to improve.
