  So im building a new pc:

intel core i5 4690k

EVGA GTX 970

Corsair vengeance 2x4gb

MSI z97 gaming 5 

Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Certified 

1tb western blue digital 

250gb samsung 850 evo

NZXT S340 case

 

 

I want to overclock my i5 4690k to 4.0ghz anything under 50$ is good but if it has to go above that is perfectly fine with me (air cooled). 

If u have any other feedback on my build that is also very much welcome im a first time builder and really need some good feedback on it and any recommendations u may have for me.

212 EVO is the most common suggestion. Just use use it.

I have a Hyper 212x, and I can hit 4.7GHz at temps of 65C while running AIDA64 stress test. The Hyper 212 evo is very similar to the 212x, if I were using a 212 evo instead of the 212x, I think that I would get 70C instead of 65C. So either are amazing cooler for the price.

RIG: CPU: i5 6600k @4.8GHz 1.34v  CPU Cooler: H100i  Motherboard: Asus Z170-AR  RAM: Corsair Vengence LPX 2400 (2x8GB)

 

HDD: Seagate Baracuda 2TB  SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500GB/PNY 240GB  GPU: Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970  PSU: EVGA G2 650W
