Will these parts work together?

[Herbbutter]

Hi,

I am a complete novice to building and matching parts together. I have done a fair bit of research on the net but am still not sure whether the RAM is compatible or not.
Can you please let me know of this build would work:

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-970A-D3
Processor - AMD FX 6100
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 500GB
Memory - Kingston 8GB 1600HX
Graphics Card - Gigabyte HD 6870 1GB
Case - Bitfenix Shinobi
Optical Drive - Liteon IHAS324 DVD-RW

Thank you!

Yes, they are compatible. What power supply are you looking at?

 

[Herbbutter]

Thank you!

Is the power supply that comes with the case not sufficient?

Power Supply:
PS2 ATX (bottom, multi direction)

not sufficient at all. It is a subpar brand. You will need one from Antec, Seasonic, Silverstone, XFX, Corsair, NZXT or PCPAC. These are good brands that wont crap out on you anytime soon.

OK,

I had a look at the Antec NSK2480 (380W), but then I will need to change the motherboard as it only support microATX.

Otherwise would the Cooler Master Centurion V II (500w) work?

You can buy the PSU separate from the case. In fact, its the best way to go.

Cooler Master is a hit or miss brand. They have some good PSUs, but they are few and far between. It is best to steer clear of them.

Thank you both very much for your help!

Greatly appreciated.

I think I will go for a separate PSU
