help is greatly appreciated

[Herman Mcpootis]

do you already have the os and monitor?

[Princess Luna]

Australia right? let me fix that for you just a second.

[42thgamer]

A ryzen 5 1600 will make it a much better workstation, a bit less good at gaming but a lot better workstation.

[Oskar Mcfarlane]

yes aus and already have a monitor etc

what about cooling

I think that CPU Comes with a Stock Cooler

the stock cooler that comes with the 8700 will work just fine. 

[dev893]

are you planning on overclocking? if not stock cooling should work just fine aslong as the case you use has a decent intake and exhaust fan

Just barely...

but it'll work, and if the temps get too high he can just get a cryorig M9i for $30 to deal with temps.

[Oskar Mcfarlane]

is having the one stick memory worse than two? or doesnt matter

Exactly! as long as his case isn't made by Inwin, the stock cooler should be fine

Believe me I used to think like that until I live an year with the stock cooler on an i7 6700... it ain't worth it... temps around 70C+ when stressing it and bloooody noise that I still nightmare about, as I suggested the 212X would solve the issue for decent costing.

And i would buy the 8700K.
Gaming is all about the clockspeed when it comes too CPU's.

Nope (already set the time):

the i7 8700 already has a really high clockspeed and even so that does not matter as much as it used to because we're finally away from the limiting 4 cores era, 6 cores gives a lot of breathing room in a world where games are actually decently optimized for multi-threading now, and regardless at 1440p we're already GPU bond with a 1070 Ti, overclocking the i7 8700k would make this build way over its budget for zero performance increase, try again.

You lose dual channel going with a single stick.

Just now, Oskar Mcfarlane said:

Doesn't really matter - aim for 2 if you can. only get one if you plan on getting a second later

[Oskar Mcfarlane]

oh and it gets hot in aus so a cooler is a good idea

[Herman Mcpootis]

dual channel will help with performance abit, depending on the programs. doubt you'll need more than 16gb and you still have 2 slots for expansion so might as well go with a dual channel kit.

if you really think you need it then get an m9i for $30, but i'd see if the stock cooler is good enough first before shelling out extra for a cooler.

Yes definitely. Don't need much if you ain't overclocking though

you prefer TN panels over IPS fpr gaming ?! i mean the difference in response time is not really a big deal to ignore the better quality image in IPS panels ! what do you think ?
