Will these PC parts work together?

Are these parts compatible? Will they help create a good gaming system? Could you also please suggest a CPU cooler?

1	Yes they are compatible, as for the cooler get a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO 30$ - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099 answered Jan 08 at 13:03 Kal 796●2●7●15

All these parts are compatible, how ever I cannot help you with the CPU Cooler, so I will leave that to someone else. i5's can make for a good gaming system, as long as you get a good graphics card to match.

suggest a graphics card? I'm having trouble finding one!

I can help out! Try the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU heatsink.

For graphics cards, take a look at the GTX 660 or 660ti. I own a 660ti.

Also, you can save money by getting an AMD CPU and motherboard. This way, you could get more performance per dollar. If you love Intel, I understand, but I'd like to throw out any possibilities that will help you along your way to building a stellar system!

what is the difference for the 660 and the 660i?

(Jan 07 at 06:51) Zorbeen98

The difference is in the GPU. The 660ti has a larger GPU with more CUDA cores, so it can handle a lot more, and give you better FPS. Other than that, they have the same memory and memory controllers.
