Thermal Pastes?

[DaGallane]

Will I need thermal paste for this build, or is it already included?

My GPU will be the GTX 1070.

212 evo comes with paste

[Mr.Meerkat]

No need for paste, the 212 will come with thermal paste and the 1070 will have TIM preapplied on the already installed cooler

So I don't need to use thermal paste since the (TIM?) is preapplied? So is the cooler? What?

There is thermal paste on the GPU already.
The 212 evo comes with thermal paste you will have to apply when installing.
Or, for the 212 evo, it's more like constructing.

The GPU cooler is already installed with TIM already there.

The CPU cooler (in this case, the 212 evo) comes with thermal paste that you would need to apply but it comes with it so you don't need to buy any.

this and a polaris gpu like the 480 would be a more refined system since the 1070 is pretty overkill for a 1080p 60hz monitor. also my one is sharper, bigger and has freesync.

 

the mouse is just personal preference.

Would I be able to just switch to a 1440p monitor instead? I prefer my build, thanks for the insight though.

with a 1070 you could but not for a long time. also 1440p would be way out of your budget.

i chose that monitor because its freesync 48-75hz. also 21:9 gaming is just a better experience imo. the nvidia equivalent would be out of your budget too.

btw you dont need 16gb of ram for gaming...
