Currently I have a gigabyte ga-78lmt-s2 MBD and plan on buying a CORSAIR Enthusiast Series 850W ATX12V 2.31/eps12V 2.92 modular power supply black. Will this psu be compatible with my MBD?
My second question is will this same PSU and MBD be compatible with a gtx 1070 founders edition?
My third question is will this GPU, PSU, and MBD all be compatible with g skill ripjaws x series 8GB 240 pin ddr3 sdram ddr3 1600 (pc3 12800) desktop memory model f3-12800cl10s-8gbxl? (There will be 2 of these in this rig if it is compatible)

If anything i plan on adding to the MBD is incompatible please let me know and if at all possible maybe reccomend a similar priced item of the same performance/purpose. On another note everything in this build is meant to be specifically for gaming. Or if you believe i should upgrade the motherboard i would love to know why and what it should be changed to, although i would prefer not to upgrade this for now.

Some of you may laugh at this question but I am incredibly intrested in building this PC and am eager to learn, therefor any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi @Veratius and welcome to PCHF :)

Yes the PSU will be compatible, and yes it will run a GTX 1070 just fine :)

The board itself will support the ram, but why not upgrade to a B450 board, a Ryzen 5, and DDR4?

A suggestion:

MSI Tomahawk B450
Ryzen 5 2600 6-core 12-thread CPU
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200)

Some of these upgrades are out of my budget for now. If i do upgrade the MBD later on will everything i listed in my original question still be compatible with the new MBD?
Secondly what makes u recomend what u did cheaper for better performance, cheaper, slighlty more expensive but better, etc?
