I live in Canada and that monitor isn't true 144hz, the 1700x if you overclock it too much it will void the warranty, I'm happy with my current GPU, I only need a ssd, I'm fine with Stock TIM, and you need to learn to read stuff better

Having bought an EKBW cooler, mine came with some thermal grizzly stock compound, which was pretty OK as far as free paste goes, probably the best stock stuff I've used. The build I listed seems to stock closer to what you want, but I picked the 1700 over the 1700X as they all clock about the same, and don't worry about voiding a warranty from overclocking, they can't tell and it's very very rare for a CPU to die.

Theres no 560 rad on EKWBs website the biggest it a 540mm

 

Derp I didnt check the 140 rad section but I checked the 180mm and the 120mm and not the 140mm section

Yeah, that rad is a massive monster, 560mm is enough for probably a heavy heavy OC on a CPU and two GPU's on it's own.

Yep and I might get a second GTX 770

While GTX 770s are cheap, idk if it's a good idea to do that, they're an old card, beaten by a GTX1050ti, 2GB frame buffer won't let you play much either.

I dont care if I get 30fps I only care that I get to play games

That is more of a fallacy then you realise, it would be better to get a GTX 1050ti for the little but more it would cost (you can sell the GTX 770) and get a better frame buffer and performance, and save power costs and heat, I mean recently I used SLI GTX 480's for a week and it cost me over €5 for power and the room was like a sauna.

I dont find my room hot with my rig at all with the windows closed and during a heat wave with no AC only a old fan

They can't prove if it was overclocked once set to stock, that voiding thing has been around for a while with Intel but changes nothing. What do you mean with not true 144Hz?

Wrong monitor a cheaper AOC "144hz" had less favourable reviews

But that $200 AOC 1ms 144Hz monitor is 144Hz right?

The one that the guy posted?
