Hi all!

I would like to ask about building a PC, I checked on MC web PC build and selected these parts and I am not sure are these will work when combining together? can you all give advice! Thanks.

That looks like a nice build, I don't see any parts that would cause you problems. The only thing I would change on that is the SSD, the motherboard supports M.2, I have https://www.microcenter.com/product/506238/samsung-970-evo-1tb-ssd-3-bit-mlc-nand-m2-2280-pcie-nvme-30-x4-internal-solid-state-drive which is awesome and not too expensive. I saw inland makes some for lower price but Ive never tried them.

Hello @MinhLe

JC9mm has a good recommendation. Inland is our house brand and we back it and support it in-store. I do have a few questions for you.

What kind of budget did you have in mind? Also, what did you plan to use this build to do and what monitor did you plan to pair with it?

One thing I would mention is that the motherboard you've selected is compatible with the CPU, but it would not be able to fully utilize it. You'll want a Z series board that can allow you to overclock the K series chip. Perhaps something like the board below.
