Don't get a S340 if you're hunting for max value, and a Hyper 212 EVO isn't great for cooling an actual OC

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

I changed out the CPU cooler to the Corsair H50. As of the case, this was the best sub $60 case I could find right now. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, man!

I agree with 0ld_Chicken.  I recommend a gtx 1070 or gtx 1060.

Well that won't make much difference then an air cooler. If you want to liquid cool, get a 240mm rad or above. Most mainstream air coolers cool the same as 120mm radiators.

I hate when people say that we need a z170 board with a k processor, it's straight up false. Just give one reason it will not be compatible.

So true it hurts
