I Need Help

[Diamondjad]

Ok so I'm saving up for a pc and my budget is 1500$. I was going to use Linus' build guide but his is outdated. If Linus or someone else update it for me that would be amazing. I want to use the Storm Scout II for the case and I want to use the H100i from corsair. The rest you guys update

Just a hint, don't use the h100i. Use the Raijintek Triton instead. It has better cooling / silence (depending on what you prioritize....), has the same price, has a super awesome look that can match virtually any build color, and best of all, it can be re-used for a custom loop, should you ever desire to do so.

 

Anyway, tell us what you'll use this PC for, as well as if you need: OS / Peripherals / Monitor / Disk Reader. Oh, and which color would you like us to build.

The H100i is not really a good fit for the Scout 2. In fact the only coolers that Cooler Master lists as compatible with that case use a single 120 mm fan.

Ok so I know that the H100i isn't a great fit so I want to mount it externally it gives it a tint of custom ness if you know what I'm saying. This is my first PC.

As long as you know that a case mod may be necessary everything is good.

Are these things over clockable?

If you mean the cpu and gpu then yes you can overclock them.

When you mean you can't put an SSD in there, is it because it's above my budget or is it incompatible?

Because it's above your budget.
