Tell me what you think of this PC build

Is this build good for gaming, recording games, video editing and rendering? Also would I be able to overclock the CPU to about 4.6 - 5.0 GHz?

You can't really know if you can overclock it that high due to silicon lottery.

Yeah, I know but is the cooler good enough?

guess you're heading for a 1500$ build...

Hitting 5GHz will be hard, even 4.6 because you have a very small aio. A h100i (or sim) will be a way better choice (or something like the noctua nhd15 or be quiet dark rock pro 3). I'd swap the 980 for a 390x too.

EDIT: AND you can get win 10 from reddit or sim. platform for more than half the price

Depends on the voltage you would be pushing to it. I would say you could get 4.4GHz if the chip allows it.

I would get a h100i gtx for a i7 personally unless if it's a small system.

Even if it was, which it isn´t, it´d still be all on the silicon lottery. Also, I´d get a different psu and you can get nano´s for the 980´s price.

I might get the 390X instead of the 980 and then get a better CPU cooler.

don't get that one

either get 240mm AiO or get aircooler

120mm ones are bad

 

iwould suggest Noctua NH-D14

beast cooler, even better than most AiO's

 

but if you really want watercooler, get 240mm, from Corsair;NZXT...

recording, yes. games, yes. well for rendering, you'd want to stay on Nvidia seeing as they take advantage of CUDA.

 

and it's gonna be hard hitting 5Ghz. I would say 4.5ghz at least. though putting more voltage will reduce the lifespan of the cpu.

 

i'd rather get a noctua nh-d14 rather than that.

Good build, but you won´t be pushing 5 ghz with it.

Even with a custom loop he might not get 5GHz.

I´m aware. 5Ghz is hard to do. Although, AMD did manage to do it with the 9590...

Well I want to reach about 4.7 GHz. I know 5 is pretty hard.
