Question.

[KooKooMan117]

I'm curious if I've messed anything up. I've already bought the Evo 212 so I want to be 100% confident that my setup is ready for what I want to throw at it. (BF1 2560x1080 at around High to Max settings)

i need more ram but its upgradable down the road when i need it. I already have storage sorted out and monitor with keyboard/mouse plus speakers sorted out so that isn't a problem. 

Any response as to if I'm missing anything or messed up somewhere would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think the RX480 will be able to push BF1 at that resolution on max settings 

 

EDIT: why not spend a little more and get a 1060 6GB?

Looks fine, maybe a bit more for better gpu like a 1070?

The MB is able to overclock the CPU right?

Should be fine, yeah. However a 1070 would probably give you better frames.

 

But the cooler might be a little close to the side panel.

 

Case supports 160mm cooler, 212 evo is 159mm

YEs but a bit too much imo for 6600k. I do understand bf1 is cpu bound

I'm sure I can force it on if it doesn't fit. its gonna be behind a huge monitor so I wouldn't mind a small bulge.

trying to go kinda future proof as i went into a brick wall with an AMD Athlon 5350

Nice build.

And ignore the comments that say the 480 may struggle on that resolution.

I play BF1 on 1440p on high preset with the GTX 1060 and I never go below 70FPS.

RX480 performs slightly better on average in that game so I am sure you can push 60FPS on ultra  on 2560x1080.

Yes, Z170 boards are the only ones which allow overclocking

if the case has a side window, I would not get a cooler which could scratch it. otherwise go for it

No side window that I know of. And even if it did. That's what clear tapes' for. Not if it shatters though.....
