Hello, I am building my new PC with a budget of $2000.
This is what I have so far.


PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel - Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor (£265.00 @ Aria PC) Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (£186.76 @ More Computers) Video Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB STRIX GAMING Video Card (£759.98 @ Ebuyer) Total: £1211.74 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2017-12-21 12:51 GMT+0000

My question would be What would the best CPU Cooler be that will fit with this Rig?
I do not play on Overclocking and do not mind air or water Cooling
But I much prefer air as of what I have seen It tends to be a lot Safer.

Kind Regards. - Roy

I would change the i7 7700k to an i7 8700(k) if it fits your budget and if not then the i5 8600k(8400)

If you are not OC'ing there is no need to get an unlocked processor and a Z board.

AIO's are not as dangerous as everyone thinks, AIr cooling is just cheaper.

Will it be enough to Power a GTX 1080 Ti and an I7-7700K?

I will consider minor - Major OC down the line.
