First Build (HELP!!)

[Blaise]

I'm building my first computer, and I have conducted a lot of research and it seems as though everything will work together.





This is what I have so far:


Case- NZXT Source 220 Mid Tower Chassis with 3x120mm White LED fans, Window, and USB 3.0 This case only holds ATX motherboards so I got.....

Motherboard-ASUS Z97-E LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard got this motherboard so any time I wanted to get 32 gbs of ram I could

Ram-G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) I don't now what PC3 19200 means but I got it (if any one knows what this means comment below!)

Cpu-I'm taking my cpu out of my existing computer which is an intel i5 4440 3.1ghz lga 1150 so it fits in the motherboard listed above

Storage- Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Power Supply- Thermaltake TR2 TR-600 600W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply

Graphics card- MSI GTX 970 GAMING 100ME GeForce GTX 970 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support ATX Video Card

Please leave a comment if you have any knowledge on this particular subject matter. Thanks in advance!

(I just need to know if these part work together as I'm not to sure. The main game I want to be able to run is Ark Survival Evolved)

Hopefully you didn't get that power supply yet. I would go with a single rail psu such as this one.

cx600 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028&cm_re=cx600-_-17-139-028-_-Product

or even the

cx600m modular unit - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139048&cm_re=cx600-_-17-139-048-_-Product

This case only holds ATX motherboards

It will also hold micro-atx boards but getting an atx board is better.

I don't now what PC3 19200 means but I got it (if any one knows what this means comment below!)

There are two naming conventions for DDR memory, so there are two names for the same thing. When starting with “DDR3-“, it will list the memory frequency. When starting with “PC3-“, it will list the memory bandwidth.

DDR3-1333 = PC3-10666 or PC3-10600
DDR3-1600 = PC3-12800
DDR3-1866 = PC3-14900
DDR3-2000 = PC3-16000
DDR3-2133 = PC3-17000
DDR3-2400 = PC3-19200

To convert between the two, just divide or multiply by 8.
For example, 1600*8=12800 or 12800/8=1600.
