8600k Upgarde

[Guest]

Hi all

 

I play games at 1080p 144hz and currently have a GTX 1070.

 

I am looking to upgrade to a i5 8600k and want to know what the best value-performance motherboard to buy is? Also what cooler would get me really good results, I was looking at a H100i? 

 

Also do you think it might be worth waiting for the next Intel line? I see that coffee lake was a big jump but not sure if I should wait. 

 

Thanks!

Anything from Asus or MSI will do you fine, doesn't really matter which, that's personal choice. Just avoid Gigabyte.

Thanks, any ideas about the cooler? I want to try get a fairly high overclock (at least as high as the CPU I get can go)

It depends on what you want to do.

 

1) Do you want to go with an AIO liquid cooler?

or

2) Do you want a big beefy air cooler?
