I got a Strix Z270-E and Strix 1060 6gb as a gift from my friends. And I bought an 7600k from January when there was a sale. Also Ill be taking 2x8 DDR4-2400 ram from my uncle.

 

I dont really have a budget, and I'm using this to mainly play games and do a bit of editing/rendering.

 

Two things im not sure about are: 

CPU Cooler: I'm not sure if I need an AIO, if its overkill I think I can switch it to an air cooler. But which air cooler? Also, Im thinking of overclocking.

 

Storage: Is it a good idea to invest into an nvme m.2? And since there are 2.5" mounts on the case, is it okay to use a 2.5" harddisk? or should I just stick with 3.5"?

enermax T50 is pretty good for $50-55, on par with 240mm AIOs for less.

if you're just gaming, you won't notice a difference between nvme and a normal sata drive. get the hynix sl308 instead.

NVME isn't useful for normal workloads/things.

2.5 inch hard drives are fine, but there's no reason to get them, because they're just more expensive per GB than a normal 3.5 inch drive, and you have enough room.

Ahh thanks for the info. Do you have any suggestion on what SSD to get?

Just not sandisk SSD Plus.

CS1311 is pretty good if you're going for a budget SSD

all Samsung SSDs are incredible

 SK hynix HFS250G32TND-N1A2A is a decent ssd choice at a good price.
