CPU and motherboard are not compatible.
Case is waaayyyy over-priced.
NVMe SSD is VERY likely unnecessary.
What specific PSU?
What Samsung 1TB SSD?

Hi.
I know case is pricey but my son likes it. Why are board and cpu not compatible they are both 1151 sockets.
Why is m.2 not necessary
Not sure on which PSU yet
Was going to use m.2 for primary memory and hdd or ssd for data storage. Seen people do this on youtube

Just found on Asus website cpu needs to be i5 8600
Thanks for the help on that one if u could answer other question that would be great help

Z170 and Z270 is LGA1151 for 6th and 7th Gen Intel Core CPU's. Z370 is for LGA1151-V2 CPUs, or 8th gen Intel Core CPU's.

Definitely use an SSD as your primary drive, just not an NVMe SSD. M.2 is just a form facot, like 2.5" or 3.5" for SSDs and HDDs. NVMe is he protocol. Like, for example, HDD's uses SATA and then you get the 'slower' SSD's that are SATA, and not NVMe, like a Samsung 860 EVO. The NVMe drive would be a waste for the vast majority of people.


Also, no reason to waste money on a nice high end unlocked motherboard, and then pair it with a locked CPU..
