Hey all,

 

I can't really decide on what to buy first. Hopefully someone can help me with it.

 

Should I buy myself a H100i right now and overclock my 2500k or get a the Kingstong HyperX Cloud II first and H100i later?

I am using the stock Intel cooler.

How are we supposed to decide?

depending of your needs, do you need the headset now? then i'd get it

for the cooler you need a higher budget to get additional fans

 

you could also go for a good aircooler like a noctua nh d14/d15 they cost like 50bucks and are quiet

if you get the h100i better buy some other fans for it

performance wise, the h100i

 

depends on your situation

if you're living in a dorm with a room mate and using speakers, the headset comes first `-`

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

No one can really answer that question for you, except yourself.

 

Do you really NEED to overclock your cpu right now? Why is it you feel the urge of overclocking?

Is your headset broken, or do you just want a new one?
