Suggestions needed for new build..

[LeMesRez]

Ok so this is a sort of repost due to less replies on the previous one-here: 

 

I am planning to upgrade in 2018 to the following specs:

 

CPU: i5 8600K

Mobo: ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-E

RAM: 2x8GB GSkill TridentZ DDR4 RGB @3000/3200MHz

Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212X

PSU: Antec EDGE750 80+ Gold 750W

Chassis: Corsair 460X RGB/Non RGB

 

Purpose is gaming, for which I already own a GTX 1060 6GB. I wish to sync the case fans with Asus Aura Sync, but the Corsair fans don't support it.. I also need really good airflow since I live in Delhi, India and temps reach pretty high here in summers (46-47 deg C). So, if buying CM MasterFan RGBs, would they work with 460X for sufficient intake and as one exhaust (2 fans already installed in corsair 460X non RGB which I plan to place as exhausts)?

 

Other suggestions are welcome. Please view my previous post for more info along with a heating issue I've described there.

 

P.S: NO RYZEN, Intel-only guy here. :3

 

Thanks!

I'd get at least a 240mm aio

either build ryzen or wait for coffee lake supply to stabilise to avoid overpaying for it

If its getting that hot youre going to need some powerful fans so personally I would go with fans with a hi cfm and get rgb rings to illuminate them. When I bought my fans I kind of just went with the ones with the highest cfm that looked nice so I have noctua nf-a14 fans in my case and I love them. They can get super loud if you dont get the curve right but once you get it right they keep my pc super cool

I am even considering Noctua NH-U12S, but the thing is that both AIOs and top end air coolers are almost double the price here in India than the USA. I may/may not overclock since I havent done it before. Even if I do, it will be very minimal, in the beginning atleast..I am trying to import a Cryorig H7 somehow at a reasonable price..

Yeah by Feb I think the prices would stabilize..Ryzen no way..

That's exactly what I intend to do I think, but trust me, its so hard to find good CFM fans here, and the limited choices that are present are super expensive..I hope prices go down a bit in 2018..

if you're lucky

 

just out of curiosity why not ryzen? I'm not particularly biased as i have an x99 intel system and a b350 amd system just curious

Because of a couple of reasons actually, one being an experience with an AMD product used earlier, the trust with Intel, plus it getting beaten by coffee lake in almost everything including gaming. I just don't want to experiment no matter how positive the response, after spending so much on components that are already much more expensive here in India than they should be..and yeah I know ppl will think wow he doesn't know sh*t about ryzen/amd or whatever, or amd made intel rush with the coffee lake launch, I get that, but I guess its just a personal preference, just like Nvidia over AMD in graphics cards..

i was the same, im not gonna suggest ryzen if you dont want it but just know that amd fixed their crap and intel still have toothpaste under the ihs, they both have their quirks
