choosing a GPU

[kish]

 

Currently in the process of my first build . I have chosen this parts below. I am stuck at choosing GPUs. Will be using my PC for gaming and maybe some video editing. Any suggestions will be welcome. Also will welcome any comments about the parts chosen. Thanks.

 

Component		Selection		Price
CPU			Intel Core i7-10700K 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor	$409.99	Buy
CPU Cooler			NZXT Kraken M22 Liquid CPU Cooler	$199.99	Buy
Motherboard			MSI MPG Z490 GAMING CARBON WIFI ATX LGA1200 Motherboard	$259.99	Buy
Memory			G.Skill Trident Z Royal 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL14 Memory	$330.99	Buy
Storage			Crucial MX500 1 TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive	$109.25	Buy
Total:				$1310.21

That 120MM AIO won't handle a 10700k. You need a 280mm AT MINIMUM.

 

For the GPU, what's you budget? A 2080 super world fit in nicely, though wait for Ampere if posiible.

What's your total budget for the system, and what country will you be purchasing the parts from?

Well a 240mm should also work fine to be fair, but I agree that a slim single 120mm rad is quite subpar.

so how well the cpu cooler works depends on the length in (mm)? Sorry for the noob question

No, there are different sizes of AIO coolers:

 

80mm (these are extremely rare)

120mm (perform bad, generally better to buy a air cooler)

240mm (most common size, works well with most modern cpus)

280mm (this is where aios start performing slightly better than high-end air coolers)

360mm (generally used for high-end cpus (r9s, i7s, i9s, etc.)

480mm (only used n custom loops, not very beneficial in temps)

larger ones exist, iirc @Den-Fi used a 720mm one in a recent build but they are very rare.

noted thanks for the clarification. 

 

My case specs states maximum cpu cooler length is 160mm. Does that mean for my setup i got the replace the case?

What case do you have?

 

It probably means the height, so air coolers over 160mm won't fit.

My case is Armaggeddon Tron III Pro Design ATX Gaming PC Case.   So in order to get a better cpu cooler i have to replace my case?

how about i use air cooler : be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4.  is it good enough for 10700k?

Should be just enough: The cooler's TDP is 250W and the CPU draws up to 229W power.

Like @gloop already asked: What's your budget?

is it good or bad? lol sorry new to this.

 

Budget is not a issue. As long as it works good.

The DRP4 is a great cooler, literally impossible to hear it.

 

Coming back to the GPU, a 2080 super would work well, they can be found for around $800.

 

If you can wait, nVidia will be releasing Ampere around fall this year which should give significant performance boosts compared to Turing.
