I would get a bigger and better ssd, like a Samsung 850 evo 250 gb.

Gpu should not be compromised for liquid cooling.

Bottleneck much

An hyper 212 evo is a plenty good cooler on a processor that doesn't run hot.  It will alow for some moderate overclocking too.

So you were complainig about the GPU plus liquid cooling looks better.

[Shiv78]

Did anyone else notice that the GPU is a 1080? For 400 pounds? Does that not trigger scam warnings for anyone else lol

Looks over performance isn't a good strategy. Ideally you should have both. It doesn't make much sense to spend 100$ more and downgrade the gpu for aesthetics tweaks when the Ops posted build will look fine. 

[poole]

Yeah but i just want a reliable cpu cooler and water cooling seem to be more are to fail.

He's probaly gonna overclock so a Liquid cooler would be beneficial.Also a i5 6600K will bottleneck a 1080

Not necessarily.Plus you have this wonderful thing called "WARRANTY"

Oh yeah, never looked at the price. 

 

 

I can can confirm that is a scam. It was discussed on the forums a couple days ago. There have been large amount of posts for $400 dollar 1080s and they have never delivered. 

[Shiv78]

OP: Get a MSI Armor 1070, same price as that scam 1080 and matches your color scheme 

[poole]

Yeah but last time i check any aio cooler dont replaced any damaged part as a result of the leak age. I really want an samsung drive but they are hell a expensive. Beside all i will be do is just store important app and install all games in hdd. In the future i can get an samsung m.2 drive 

[JaRy8]

If you wanted you could get a Cryorig H7 cooler. Better cooling and fits in better with the white mobo, however it is about £10 more expensive. And seeing as you're obviously in the UK you could also get a Palit GTX 1070. Theyre one of the best (and cheapest) on the market right now

I dont think amazon will mess with their consumer.... it must be a pricing error on amazon. might as well get it while they dont know

I honestly hate peoples tlking about bottlenecking, especially on hardware that won't even come close to bottlenecking. Check these Benchmarks-

It's not amazon selling it, it's a third party using amazon as a marketplace. It is a scam.

No its not. where it says "By EVGA" thats just stating the brand of the product, go look at any evga card and it'll say that.

edit-

Going to say right now, the i5 won't be able to do 144Hz gaming at 1080p, the 1080 will be bottlnecked. I'd really suggest getting a GTX 1070 and even then it is still going to bottleneck at 1080p 144Hz gaming. The i7 helps stop the dips the i5 will have when playing at such a high frame rate and overall have a much higher minimum frame rate.
