[mintyfreshfresh]

[Tan3l6]

Australia?

 

Never mind, AUD

[Slottr]

What cpu?

[Wolfifly]

I'd think the Noctua NH-U9B SE2 should be a valid pick for you. EDIT: If you would just go a bit over 50 you could get the dark rock 4 wich shouldn't have any issues with the most midclass CPUs!

Yeah, well comparing some cheaper dualtower cooler price in Australia, the Noctua NH-D15 is not so much higher.

But yeh, what about the system/CPU it should cool?

I'd go for Scytehe Fuma 2 though:

Wasn't he asking for around 50$ tho? Because this seems like a little more...

My error. Somehow my brain filtered out the required price range and went shopping...

But still would be interesting to know the CPU.

[Tan3l6]

From https://www.mwave.com.au/

Is seems reasonable priced - https://www.mwave.com.au/product/deepcool-gammaxx-400-120mm-pwm-fan-cpu-cooler-blue-ab60209

Deepcool GAMMAXX 400 

 

It's not great, but cools better than most boxed coolers.

I feel like you need something more beefy for that CPU from what I've heard. You could go for an AIO but it will be atleast 100$ but will give you no real problems with temps!

Could you tell us what your plans are with this PC? Is it supposed to be a good gaming PC or just a workstation? (Or maybe even both to some degree?)

I'd say go with this:

CPU: i9 9900k

Motherboard: MSI MPG z390 mb

GPU: MSI RTX 2060 super

AIO: 120 Corsair iCUE H100i

RAM: TridentZ 3200MHz 16GB

Case: BeQuiet Dark Base 700

PUS: 140 850 Watt Corsair PSU RM850x
crucial 1tb m.2 ssd (100$)
You'll end somewhere up 1700$ if I did everything correctly and will deliver great performance. You can also upgrade storage or save up a little more for a more powerful GPU.

And if you wanted to you could get the "gaming carbon" edition of the MSI motherboard for greater looks! It will cost you like 70$ more tho.

Yes, you could go for a i7 9700k and for a cooler for a dark rock 4 pro. Won't look as good as the the dark rock 4 pro is a GIANT but will deliver almost as good performance. that will lower you for atleast 100$. You could also cheap out on the case and go for an NZXT H510 mid tower!

seems like a solid list in my opinion 1660 super is sort of a fail GPU from nvidea imo. It deliveres just a little more over the 1060 6GB (wich is a great card) but the performance is kind of outdated. If you're just wanting to be a at/over 60FPS that will give you no problems. However, if you're planing to play over 144FPS (incase you have/or will get a 144hz display) you should upgrade the Graphics card. But I don't think theres any other special need for that build.

thats sick im not planning on getting a 144hz anytime soon im just having trouble finding a good cheap cooler and im also wondering if this case is any good Tecware Nexus Evo RGB Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Case - White?

It's decent for the price, however the NZXT H510 is at the same prize category and has better and easier cable management. And trust me, if you ever build a pc you know how stressful cables can be.
