get a cheaper B360 board and cryorig M9i if he's not overclocking or an 8700k if he is, no point pairing an 8700 with a Z370 board. the G3 has protection issues so i'd recommend something else.

Do you really need a 70 euro cooler?

For the 8700, the z370 is overkilled. Try B360 series motherboard and stock cooler instead. Or use 8700k and another cooler like Noctua D15.

If he gets a 8700k is that cooler good?

Is the i5 8600k better than the i7 8700 if he overclocks it?

Doubt it. The 8700 still has those extra 6 threads which help heaps.

 

As suggested, get the 8700 with a B360 board, and slap on a decent Cryorig cooler, as Coffee Lake CPU's run pretty hot, even when not overclocked.

What cooler exactly would you suggest? Maybe the CRYORIG - H7

Yes, but the ultimate version might be better. I also recommend a H60 from Corsair.

the dark rock 3 is pretty good, if the dark rock 4 is at a similar price then get that instead. the 8700 will be better due to the extra threads.

It's 2018, get outta here with that air cooler on such a high end machine, plus its intel, it needs a water cooler to even get mildly acceptable temps.  Might as well replace that SATA SSD with an m.2 one too. 1080 is basically a 1070ti, might as well either put a 1070ti in or upgrade to 1080ti.

Thought you might also want to see how terrible that i7 8700 build is compared to the zen 7 build I posted too. These are VIRTUAL benchmarks so it's how the system would perform ON AVERAGE based on other users' configurations.07QWAX.jpg

really hey? lemme get this straight, It's gonna be adequate for the CPU! The purpose of putting in that L9i cooler was to change the stock cooler that can't handle the 8700 that well. Why would you water cool that locked i7 anyway?

 

but i gotta give you props for putting a 1080ti on your list, nice job

Because intel's newer CPUs get really hot compared to AMD. I still favour water cooling in any high end system to keep temps down so there's minimal chance of throttling, even if the machine already runs fairly cool.

If he gets a 8700k is that cooler good?

Is the i5 8600k better than the i7 8700 if he overclocks it?

Depends on if he wants to overclock and how much he wants to push the clocks.

 

Not likely. An i7-8700 has higher clocks, hyperthreading, and 3MB more cpu cache. It would be difficult to oc an i5-8600K high enough to overcome these. To do it one would need a very good cooler, the price of which sort of negates the price differential between the two cpu.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Little point getting a Z370 chipset with a locked cpu. Either change to the 8700K and a beefier cooler or switch that board to a B360 etc.

Save yourself the frustration of Razer's Synapse software by going for another brand.
