I assume from the GPU that it's for games?

 

Might want an air or water cooler for the CPU, then.

CoolerMaster 212 Evo is a heavily recommended air cooler on this forum, and it's usually at a good price.

 

*edit: nevermind I just wasn't looking at the PCPartPicker link sorry! H100i is awesome, too.

I would look at the 230T series if you would want more I dunno "BLANG"

 

I have a orange 230T but replaced the orange fans with blue ones and it looks amazing!

@Speedbird You could get a better GPU instead of that CPU cooler and get a CM Hyper 212 Evo instead that would do the job quite well as long as you plan on lightly overclocking.

Or you could cut on the case and get the 230T and then get a R9 280x instead.

@Speedbird, have you built it or asking about it?

 

Asking, I haven't built it yet.

don't go with overclock stuff and use that money for the GPU.

I have a few CPU-heavy games, that's why I went with that i5.

 

 

 

Is this going to be used for gaming?

 

Yes it will, but it's mostly Half-Life 2 or other Valve games. I sometimes play Flight Simulator, but that's CPU-heavy.

I didn't say not to go with the i5, I said not to go with overclocking stuff and use the money for the GPU.

Well, spending money for the k processors isn't really a waste... I don't plan to OC yet, but when I feel like it I can do it whenever...

I'll have to learn how to do it well on an expendable rig first, just in case xD
