hi there my names rob i am buying parts for my first build i have decided on a asus z270e gaming motherboard, g.skill trident z rgb ram and i 7700k. so i need a cpu cooler that is asus aura compatible and some extra fans (any sugestions for brands), or will it be okay to use corsair i know its not aura sync compatible but i have heard that using cue and aura sync causes problems and also cancause  people issues with the g.skill rgb ram, i may be wrong i read this last night while sleepy and i dont know much about this sort of stuff so i guess my main question is if i get this g.skill rgb  ram and use cue and aura sync will i have any issues. my next question is can i have the two installed and use one then close it and use the other or is the problem simply from having both installed?i am very sorry for the novel and im sure there is another forum about this but i couldn't seem to find it(im a noob) but any knowledge is greatly appreciated thank you for taking the time to read this and help me out!!!

Dont buy 7th gen. 8th gen is a much better choice. 6 core CPUs give much smoother frame rates. What graphics card will you use?

1080 ti

Then there's zero reason to go 7700k unless only that chip will work for you. 8700k is the best performer, but 8600k is what you can get at this price range.

ya its only 75 bucks more than the 7700k i just dident realize i would be able to squeeze more fps outa the 1080ti with it i was under the impression that the 7700k was good enough. thank you very much for the info i would rather get a little more than a little less most of my friends try to talk me into spending much less but i wanna rip games at a high  fps at 1080p
