hey guys,
this is my first time building a computer and i want to be sure that i have all of the parts right.
here's the link to all of the parts:

i'm pretty sure all of these parts are compatible with eachother, but i half-assed the dimensions. does anyone have any online tools that they use to put builds like this together? and do you think this build is doable?
Those are all compatible, you shouldn't have any issues. I would definitely add an SSD.
are all compatible, though I don't think 650 W is needed, 550 W will do it unless you plan to add another graphic card, which would be possible with that mainboard

Power supplies are most efficient when you draw about half of their max rated load. Nothing wrong with over specing one.

what do you mean by most efficient?
power efficiency, meaning Wattsinn/Wattsout, you'll find they are most effective at about 90% load. at least that's the rule of thumb for SMPSU.
if you mean most efficient in terms of maximizing lifetime, then you might be on to something.

I would remove that cooler unless you plan on doing some overclocking, otherwise the stock cooler will work just fine for you. You may want to add an SSD along with that hard drive just to store your OS and program files on. Windows 10 is a botnet so unless you have something that requires Windows 10 I'd switch to 7 because it doesn't have NSA 'telemetry'
My build is like yours, very scary. I would upgrade the motherboard to the pro gaming one for $10 more

Yes keep believing this goy.

There is no denying that 7 has a lot less data mining telemetry than 10 does.
You really shouldnt be using windows anyways

I agree with whoever said get a larger PSU. I've been building rigs for over 17 years and even when a 250 watt PSU was too much I'd go ahead and order them a 400 watt PSU when that was the best thing possible. Also don't go for the bronze rated PSUs. Get the absolute best you can get and I'd say to get a 750 or 900+ just because. It's like saying the CPU is the engine but it needs oil and fuel, If you put shitty fuel and oil into your car it's going to have a higher chance of failing very very early on. I've had multiple clients trying to save 20$ on a cheaper bronze 450 watt PSU by rosewill or some shitty brand like Hercules then getting mad when their 600$ rig gets fried then theyre complaining because their PSU didn't have any short protection or anything. Never skimp out on the PSU.

Also a larger PSU because if you start adding fans and other components and all of a sudden your system doesn't turn on you'll appreciate having paid 20-50$ more now than having to buy a whole new PSU for 150$+ when time comes for an upgrade. Also higher end PSUs are so much more modular and allow for tons of expansion
Don't buy radeon graphic card and will be cool

Depends on the stock cooler. The stock fan mine came with was loud as a banshee. $20 simply for noise reduction was worth it to me.
Agree about SSD though. They're too cheap nowadays to not include in a desktop build.

Nvidia drivers have become absolute shit tier over the last year or so. Not only that they have long gimped their cards artificially with drivers when their new cards come out.
You have to sign up and have an account to even use half of their software now.
You are paying more, but you arent getting better performance or a better experience.

At least I'm getting the geforce™ experience®
How hard is it to build custom laptops, as opposed to just buying configured ones?

>Switch to 7
You can only pirate 7.
everything is compatible from what I can see. Go for it.
