The i5-8400 is not compatible with the Z270 motherboard, hence why I recommended a Z370 motherboard. Also, the EVGA PSU I recommended is better than that Antec unit. Do not buy the Cooler Master Hyper 212 cooler.

Don't pay more than 2000 NOK for 16GB RAM, and don't pay much more than 1600-1700 for the 1050Ti.

Thank you for the reply, I am using adobe, Sony Vegas Pro 12 and CyberLink PowerDirector 11 Ultra.

Yes I am going for the i5 and 1050Ti.

My questions is more for the case if you dont mind. I am newbie so please excuse me if the question seem stupid. How do I know the motherboard fits the case? The one you recommended, will it fit for ''MSI Z270-A Pro'' or should I change the motherboard to something els?

The Meshify C is cheap for me so thats good, but why do you recommend it? Do you also have it? is it good? What purpose is it best for? Is it small or big? size or color doesn't matter to me, but im just curious

The Z270 motherboard is not compatible. You need to get a Z370 motherboard with the i5-8400. Get a Cryorig M9i or Be Quiet! Pure Rock(Slim) CPU cooler instead of the CM Hyper 212 LED. The Meshify C is a mid sized ATX case, it's not SFF but it's pretty small for an ATX case. It's compatible with your hardware, has good airflow, and is priced well so it is a solid option.

you saved me there with the motherboard... I have seen all the comments, and for some reason I didnt see your comment about your recommended motherboard until now. I found the cheapest one which is ''MSI Z370-A PRO''

For the CPU cooler, i take you advice and take ''Be Quiet! Pure Rock Slim''

The powersupply... which EVGA do you recommend, I found 650W and 750W which model?


About the RAM. what is the difference between 2400MHz - 3200MHz - 3600MHz
How can it help in daily tast, multitask or video editing? do you recommend above a special number?

As for the GTX 1050 Ti I found one for 1500NOK, thank you. You really are helping me!

The Meshify C looks fine... but the reason why I ask alot about the case. My only wonder is ''how do you know it will fit for the motherboard''. Im only corious because I want to know so that in future I can also help other people. Or example in 5years from now when I want to build a NEW pc. How do I find out that case can match this motherboard?

The EVGA 550W G3 I recommended. Get that. If you want a cheaper PSU, get a Corsair CX550M or CX650M with the grey label(NOT green label). 550W is more than enough wattage.

You won't notice a huge difference between RAM speed for the most part, the 2666MHz kit I recommended is priced well. If you can get 3000/3200MHz for a similar price, go for it. If the faster RAM is quite a bit more expensive than the 2666MHz kit, don't bother.

You have chose an ATX sized motherboard. The case fits ATX sized motherboards. Simple. The Meshify C will fit the vast majority of motherboards so there's no problem there. You'll only really have issues with E-ATX motherboards, but it's only really high end motherboards on high end sockets that are E-ATX.

The Corsair CX650M 650W is actually cheaper than EVGA 550W G3
But where do I see the grey label?

Im sorry that I ask you so many questions. As I also go into small details about the PC im building. I just found out that the ''NZXT s340'' which is the case I want to buy have few fans slots

2 front 120/140mm
1 top 120/140mm
1 rear 120/140mm

The case itself comes only with one stock fan. Do I have to buy 2 or 3 more fans? If Yes... again which one do you recommend?
