Cooler is overpriced AF and is unlikely to do better than the $25 options

 

The case has no airflow 100% do not buy, get a Fractal Design Focus G instead.

You can install windows 10 for free without a key and it will work fine.

 

What's your monitor resolution/refresh rate and what's your budget/country?

The cooler and its price seem fair, its an RGB cooler with a built in thermal sensor complete with thermal RGB effects and likely the pipes are better than what could be found on a $25 solution, albeit probably not super noticeable. I would suggest a Be Quiet! Pure Rock for less than $40

 

As for the case, I agree that airflow might be an issue especially for hardware as powerful as what OP plans to install

 

And as for Windows 10, you can do this with any version of Windows (albeit for windows 7 you would need to spoof a key to continue installation and I can't remember if the same holds true for windows 8) but the user would not be able to personalize their system, I don't think Windows 10 has a Grace period like Windows 7 and 8 do. It's doable, in fact I do it myself for some systems, and as long as OP doesn't mind the default accents and the generic windows wallpaper then its completely fine

Personally I would go for the 2600X with the 1070 Ti. However unless you have plans for those extra two cores, then the 1600X and 1080 would be better

[suteerth1]

It is only a 1600 not the one with X, i am really confused between the two, which one should i go for, please explain with reasons.

Last time i checked you cant salvage womdows keys from other devices unless it is specifically a non-oem key. A laptop more or less allways runs with an OEM-key that is tied to the motherboard.

 

Also windows 8 support is dropping off

Higher base and boost clock

Ryzen 5 1600 base/boost: 3.2GHz/3.6GHz

Ryzen 5 1600x base/boost: 3.6GHz/4.0GHz

 

Higher TDP

R5 1600: 65W

R5 1600X: 95W

 

1600X does not come with a cooler whereas 1600X does (which should not be a concern if you already plan to get a third party cooler)

 

Other than that no real difference, 1600X will perform better though of course

[suteerth1]

I have an MS account to which my windows is linked, as long as i will use my account on my new PC, i shouldnt run into any problems right?

I have a choice between a 1600 Non X and a 2600X(Not 1600X)

As long as the previous system had a microsoft account linked to the license key, then you could run activation troubleshooter on the new system and select that you have made a significant hardware change and then select your old system from the list to reactivate

depending on if you want CPU performance or need more GPU performance. Most games place more load on the GPU or can be level. You might be better off with the 1080 and 1600 and OC the 1600

You windows is linked to the account, yes. But due to OEM-key being tied to the mobo it wont reqognise the new system. And will ask for a new key. If it was a regular non-OEM key there wouldnt be an issue, but it isnt. If you reinstalled windows on the laptop it would reqognise the key once you logged into windows

 

A win 10 OEM key can be had for 25$ from kinguin, or you can run without a key.

So what to do then?

You would need to install windows without a key or buy a key. Windows will function without the key but you won't be able to personalize after the grace period ends, WIndows 8 and 7 will black the wallpaper and Windows 10 to my knowledge does not have a grace period

I'm pretty sure they stuck RGB on a hyper 212 type design.

Cooler Master Box K500L

At least it's better than nothing for airflow, should look for just a plain masterbox 5 black(has mesh) though, it's more open.

For the price of that cooler you could buy something that's actually better/larger.

 

and what's your monitor? if it's only 1080p 60hz you don't need that tier of GPU, an RX 570/580 or 1060 6GB would be fine for even 1080p 144hz gaming.

Download Win 10 without a key. Then get a key from kinguin for 25$. If you dont have the money now you can wait untill you can afford it as you can run windows without a key (though you get some inconvenienses

[suteerth1]

But i will be using custom wallpapers.

You can change the background in windows 10 without issue, you just get a small watermark and can't auto-hide/resize the toolbar.

I will use my TV which is 1080P Full HD and has gaming mode along with 120Hz of refresh rate

There is a red variant
