CPU/Cooler problems

[Fidycent]

My friend is finally doing his own build, ive been helping him choosing bits an bobs, but since its a somewhat of a budget build were stuck on some decisions about the CPU/Cooler

 

(We're from Latvia so the choice of stores is quite limited)

 

The page we order from is only in Latvian so.. ill link the part pages

 

Coolers:

CPUs:

Cases:

So finally the problem:

 

We cant decide between:

4690s and 212 EVO

or a

G3258 OC and a top tier water cooler

 

Since the budget is still there, the case also has to be cheap (also later planning to get a H440), but its quite difficult to find a cheap case that fits either cooler...

 

Just woke up so sorry if the text is a bit off, but thanks in advance.

please do not choose a different cpu because u cant afford cooling... stick with the better cpu and buy a better cooler later... sticking with stock settings cant hurt u see

 

short said 4690k , dont waste money on a g3258 when u can get a 4690k ( especially if cooling is ur reason.... )

Thats a 4690s.

 

A 4690k is a bit over budget, even if using the stock cooler..

go a little bit over the budget and go K. worth it trust me u will not regret it in the future or when u get proper cooling later ( coz the non k it wouldnt matter if u had better cooling or not coz u cant overclock anyways )

Get the 4690s with 212 evo

[Fidycent]

Well, looks like the G3258 is getting smashed..

 

Any recommendations on a case then? The evo is pretty high profile

Get the best CPU you can, the cooler can come later. The S variant's are weaker, low power versions of the regular chip, so the aftermarket cooler wouldn't even be slightly necessary.

 

I would recommend either a 4460, 4690(regular) or 4690k. the 4460 appears to be functionally identical to the 4690s, just produces a little bit more heat.

 

Regarding case, well the S340, the H440's cheaper brother, will also fit it, (with only 2mm to spare mind you)

NZXT are quite rare here... Would be really grateful if you had a look at the link i provided and looked for a case fitting a 212 there

4690 with stock or evo
