First Build Help Required

[Gursimran 82956]

This is my first build and i want help with the selection of cabinet + cooling solutions in it except the cpu and would this build require a custom thermal paste?

And at last will this build hold up in the near future according to you?

Note -

1). i reside in India thus there would be some import duties + some inflation as well though here a 1000$ build  made up in US can reach up to 1400$ build made in India

2). This budget is not for the peripherals or monitor

what's your budget in Rupees

[Sahil10416]

You can't but a gtx 1080 + i7 6700k build with $1400=~rs.93000.

[AliB2512]

Can you not get a 4x8GB set of G skills ? 

But anyway a that pretty similar to my build except I use a H80i V2

 

terms of custom thermal paste, the H100i has a pre applied layer of Corsair's custom thermal paste 

 

case selection, with what you've got, any standard sized mid tower +  will work, so it's up to you to pick one you like,

 

cooling, well depending on how many preinstalled fans, you wouldn't be needing much, just enough to comfortable pull air in and. Push it out 

 

build should last you many Years going forwards

The budget would be 1,50,000

That 1400$ was used as an example

 

[Gursimran 82956]

Actually i was thinking of a corsair carbide spec alpha case

But i don't know if these components would fit it?

my bad.

Case- Phanteks Enthoo Pro M 

AIO cpu cooler- Corsair h100i v2

You don't need to apply thermal paste on anything, it comes pre-applied aio cooler & this build is definitely future proof but if you want the latest then you have to wait for a couple of months for the kaby lake architecture (i7 7700k). But the performance difference won't be huge.

Would a corsair carbide spec alpha cabinet work?

As i don't know if these things would fit or not?

That would be an awesome build and a beautiful one at that, around $1600, making it last easily for at least 3 years.

Thanks for all the help now my last question would be if the corsair h100i v2 would work efficiently or not in this cabinet

funny?

[JamieOlive]

I wouldnt build in that case, i don't find it good looking but that's just personal, and it may be able to fit maybe not it says it takes 240mm radiator but i wouldn't stretch it that much, but something along the NZXT S340 ELITE or the Fractal Dsign Define S or Corsair Carbide 400C would be much better options aand they are not expensive around 70-100 € depending on the region.

don't buy from Amazon india ....... their price is stupidly high.

where you live in india? ..... if you live in metro cities you can find stores which sell pc parts, there u can find some good deals, for ex. if you live in delhi go to nehru place and if you live in mumbai go to lamington road.

 

if you can't buy offline then buy from ....

 

primeabgb.com

mdcomputers.in

itdepot.com

golchhait.com

itwares.com

 

newegg would also be not a good idea as u have to pay a lot of shipping charges 

 

also i would suggest you to go to r/IndianGaming if you are on Reddit as i have seen many people post their builds there, like yours, so they will surely help you where to find good deals.

 

2300$ is a lot for 1400$ build.
