I was going to ask too, but i think he has the intel stock cooler.

As i said, Cooler Master Hyper 212 is good more than enough. You can watch the tutorial and see it for yourself. Edit: But be careful buying air-cooler, it may be too high on your motherboard if you have a small chassi you wont be able to close the chassi in that case go for something smaller like Noctua NH-U9S but still you should do reserach before buying.

Of course you should get a cooler if you don't have one, but doesn't have to be the best or expensive if you not overclocking. Something like Cooler Master Hyper 212 or Noctua NH-U9S will be more than enough for non overclocking and even with the cheapest CPU cooler that i listed, you should have some room for overclocking.

Yah i was planning for SLI in the future but maybe, or higher tier GPU. Who knows what AMD going to release after 1000 series.

Yah but it's like 13$ more expensive...

I forgot to mention that i will be using my GTX 960 until they release 1070, my bad.

Hi guys, i'm doing NZXT build when it comes to cooling, chassi, LED etc... I bought NZXT H440W White and NZXT Kraken X61, where should i mount the radiator? Top or front for best view and cooling?

Yah but it's just my taste I care alot more of the look than performance.

I had enough nightmares with bad CPU's like my FX-8320, this time i'm going overkill even tho i only play League Of Legends and few moba games. I was going to buy Intel i7 6700k but i saw the benchmark and didn't see any different when it comes to gaming.

Yah, i'm getting Corsair RM750x 750W tomorrow. I was thinking Evga supernova g2 but i didn't feel good when i saw it.

Ok got it, i will wait to next month until i get my GTX 1070 and a good PSU. Thank you all for the tips.

Which one would you recommmend? I may go for 1070 SLI in the future so might as well get one that can run them as well.

I will be using my GTX 960 until 1070 comes out next month.

Hi, I've been doing few research about overclocking the past year but i never done overclocking yet. This week i'm getting my new PC, Intel i5 6600k, Asus z170-a, 16 GB Corsair 3000Mhz Ram, Corsair CX600w Bronze Plus, NZXT Kraken X61 and temporary i will be using my GTX 960 until 1070 comes out. My Asus motherboard will have 5 way optimization, which will allow me to auto overclock. Would you guys recommend it for someone newbie like me? What the best result can i hit with my water cooler but low tier PSU? I don't want to kill my new CPU, i was thinking if i could hit max 4.5GHz if not 4.4 with this build with out decrease the life of me CPU?

I have no problem if it dies in short amount of time but will it damage my other components?

Hi, i'm new to this Forums so please excuse me if this is the wrong place to ask for help. So i'm getting my new PC this week, i upgraded from FX-8320 and GTX 960 combo to Intel i5 6600k and GTX 1070 (1070 is not out yet but i will use my GTX 960 until it comes out) When i ordered the components parts i didn't buy a PSU because i already had new one (sealed) and didn't feel to burn the money. So here is my PSU: Corsair CX600M, now i know this is a low tier PSU but i ordered this few months ago, i though i may need it because my old 430W PSU was dying but then i never needed it. I never overclocked before and now i'm planning to use my Asus z170-a motherboard software: Asus 5 way optimization to overclock my CPU to 4.3 or 4.4 Ghz but not higher since i don't want to kill my new CPU. Here is my question, will my PSU able to handle let's say 4.4Ghz Intel Core i5 6600k and GTX 1070 with out any issues? Edit: I'm going to get Corsair RM750x tomorrow, thank you al for the tips and support i really appreciate it.
