Get windows of kingwuin 

Get a rx 480 or 1060

They'll work just fine. I would consider possibly going with a slightly better GPU for gaming. Possibly waiting for gtx1060 or rx480 to actually become available.

Since you are a beginner get an air cooler instead of a liquid cooler. Much simpler to install and even better they are much cheaper. Spend less money on some peripherals and get windows from reddit and then with the saved money get a much better gpu (rx 480 or if you have saved up enough a gtx 1070).

you can check out these parts on here the website should tell you if they're compatible or not.

However, I would strongly recommend if you're gonna be using your pc for gaming pay less on the cpu that on the gpu, I'd suggest get the 1070 or 1080 if you can and you can edit your build as you like.

Thank you so much guys, about the air cooled over liquid cooler, I'm not going to be the one assembling the pc so I don't think it will be a problem.

The operating system is a bit more complicated, as I don't know how to install it and for that reason I'll pay the full kinda unfair price. As for the graphics card, I'm not really playing high-end games, what I usually play is games like CSGO. Thank you again guys <3 #BestTechCommunity

LIESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

I would say a liquid cooler is much easier to install than a air cooler...h100i with a x99 motherboard...4 screws into the socket mountings, 4 screws into the rad (I don't feel like all 8 is required but that's me...), put the pump/block combo over the CPU, get the 4 thumb nuts, screw the block nice n tight...that wasn't hard was it?

I'll agree that I exaggerated with the 'much simpler to install' </3 You win this round mr meerkat

I recommend a liquid cooler, and I think that they are actually easier to install and you won't have problems with tall heat spreaders or not having enough space in your case. If you do want to go with watercooling, I think that the NZXT Kraken x61 is a far better choice over the Corsair H110i, and in fact bests it in every way save for looks (negligible) and price (also negligible).
