I am just about to start purchasing the parts for my new build and wanted to get some final thoughts and opinions from some experts  ;)

 

I want the build for Gaming at 1440p at 144hz max settings and some Editing. I also want the build to be fairly silent.

Theres no CPU Cooler because I plan to get the new EKWB Predator 240 AIO cooler thats released this month. (Good or bad idea?)

 

I Plan to get a second G1 980ti soon after i build the rig, thats why I have chosen the larger PSU.

 

Is the 2xxgb M.2 SSD sufficient or do I need a 5xxgb? (is a larger SSD neccessary?)

Grab an EVGA G2 series instead of the XFX it'll be slightly cheaper and is better.

Ok thanks.

 

I suppose I could do that, I usually burn Music CDs for the car but I suppose I could just do it from my laptop. I just thought It would be a hassle since ive never booted windows from a USB  :unsure: gotta learn sometime though lol

All XFX power supplies are made by SeaSonic. His is a wonderful one.

Oh, and for a CPU cooler you will be fine with a BeQuiet! Pure Rock if you do not plan on heavy overclocking. Since the 6700k does not come with one.

I didnt select one because Im planning to get the EKWB AIO cooler at the end of this month, It looks good and seems like a safe option because I might overclock later on down the line.

 

I was fighting with myself over getting Dark rock pro 3 or the Noctua NHD15 because i was scared of water cooling lol but EK seems to be a safe bet and its a New AIO from the people who design and make parts for custom loops.

You need some sort of cooling, the 6700k does not have one
