If you are trying to figure out whether or not the parts are all compatible, head over to [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and compile all the desired parts into a list on there and it will tell you if there are any issues or not... It'll also tell you the cheapest places to buy that specific product

Compatible, but case and PSU are trash. Also, CPU makes no sense.

Whats your budget and currency?
What monitor(s) are you using with the system?
What will the system be used for?

So, you need a monitor within the £650 budget then?

You can easily save £30 if you wait for H310/B360 chipset motherboards to launch. You could put that extra £30 towards a 250GB 850 EVO instead of the 120GB BX300, or up the 3GB GTX 1060 to an RX 580.
