Is this i7 6700k OC Build ready to go?

TekRage

I'm going to use this build for a modest CPU overclocking.

I value stability and aesthetics, therefore I choose the Cryorig cooler. I know the cooler is not that good and doesn't deliver the best performance, but will it work if I just slightly overclock my CPU?

The mobo is also another concern, as I try to squeeze my budget near 1k.

Guys please help me out thanks.

 

Update: I choose the i7 for better rendering (hyperthreading)

2nd Update: Aiming for a 4.2-4.5ish OC. Wanted it to be stable for rendering purposes, which might take hours and can't afford to crash.

 

3rd Update: I know I shouldn't care too much about the looks of my build, but will the cryorig c1 cooler work for my modest and stable OC? Or are there any "cooler" options. Note that I don't like bulky and big cooler like the hyper 212... Don't hate on me please lol...

Id probably get a i5 6500 and a 1070 for gaming, but looks fine.

Thanks for the reply.

I forget to mention, I choose the i7 for hyperthreading and rendering purpose. So I push my graphics card down to 1060.

A Hyper 212 EVO won't give you great overclocking performance especially compared to coolers in its price range and more.

 

The following are better value for their price, the higher the cost the better its performance.

A Noctua NH-D15 would get you a lot further probs 4.5 or more at pretty good temps its like a water cooler, coolermaster h100i range but it cost like 100bucks but its worth it if you're going to oc

You can get a G2 for not much more. You can get a 2TB Hitachi HDD for the same price but the WD Blue would be my recommendation.
