Does this build need any improvement?

Now guys, I'm starting to think that overclocking isn't for me, I'm not really that keen on getting an asus motherboard that costs that much, i was looking at the b250f, but with that would getting the same processor (i7-7700k) be a good or bad idea? And should i even consider the i5 series cards? 

Just wait for Coffee Lake. i3s will have 4 cores and 4 threads (so it's same as current gen i5), i5s have 6c and 6t, i7 have 6c and 12t. Definitely look out for benchmarks and pricing on these chips. On paper, your i7 7700k is slower than Coffee i5s.

Mhmm, i'll see what happens, i'm not really worried about that extra 10% performance or whatever, i'll only look into it if the performance is significantly better.

Well you got me there. When the G3258 intel allowed overclocking on H81 and B85 boards but with newer boards I do not know

This is pretty much a one-off thing. It's just stupid to match a rather cheap dual core CPU with an expensive Z mobo, so Intel allowed non-Z boards to OC G3258.

You can't know that for sure. Even though kaby lake are newer than skylake, the performance is roughly the same.

Coffee i5s and i7s have 2 more cores, so we're talking about 50% increase in multi-core performance, even when ignoring the IPC improvement.

I think i'm just going to wait a couple of days and think about it all and by then i'll have a conclusion, thanks everyone.

We'll know tomorrow. Also, Kaby Lake was released before AMD gave Intel a good punch in the face, so Intel did the usual thing: Rename the chip, Do some advertisement, then Count money.

I've seen countless people with Corsair PSUs, and the problems range from outputting way less power than advertised, to fans not working properly, to even catching fire.

I read through the discussion on this, I'd just like to give my input:

This is the series of power supply the OP has, this is my power supply, this is the first power supply to ever get a 10/10 from Jonnyguru, and this is a mediocre power supply with poor build quality that hardly even hits its rated wattage. These are all Corsair.

This is a good power supply, this is the highest wattage (or one of, EVGA has a couple) consumer power supply, this is another Jonnyguru 10/10, and this is a poorly made mess. That's all EVGA.

 

So, yeah, like the others said, one company can absolutely have both excellent products and shitty products. A couple of resources I'd recommend using to judge PSUs are this tier list and this whitelist, as well as Jonnyguru reviews.

"Do as I say, not as I do."

-Because you actually care if it makes sense.

I'm not sure whether the processor is worth it and I haven't really ever tried overclocking, I just need something that will work well with every other component.

Wait for intels 8th gen CPU's launching tommorow. It will give a great core and thread count increase in the i7 8700K.

Because he'll be fine if he puts windows and a few games in there, and with the money he saves he can get a better cooler

A game is 50gb by itsef so it'll be windows plus 1.5 games
