I'm building my first PC and I really want to know that what I'm getting will work as good as it can. I'll be using the PC for gaming, streaming and video editing all on 1080p. I'm from the UK and my budget is £1300.

Should I keep the noctua CPU cooler or is the stock prism wraith good enough?

Is everything compatible?

Is there something I should invest more in and less into others?

Thanks

get that thing

 

i dont think a low profile Cooler is good for a non ventilated side panel tbh, get something else like arctic 33/34 duo

Is this a good cooler substitute?

I was honestly doubting my PC knowledge like "wait is the L9a not super tiny??" but no, I was right and I have absolutely no idea what it's doing in this build. That cooler only sometimes belongs in SFX builds, not ATX towers.

 

Wouldn't just the 120mm towers make more sense? Like the U12s? There are loads of options around £50

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Get the schyte thingy it's very bulky,  so I'm just gonna assume it's a good cooler.

Well it's not that hot so anything is good, almost anything. If you want the rgb yeah get that Gammaxx gt or GTE.

I would go with the Gigabyte Gaming OC for the better warranty support and triple fan cooler.
