Then probably just buy that, but it sounds like you could use that AIO money to upgrade to an 8700K...lol or intel 9th gen is coming soon and will be soldered.

so i should stick with my corsair h60 cooler?

You're going to want something better for sure, but don't spend so much on the cooler that you could have gotten an 8700K with a $25 120mm air cooler instead...

[rekt1]

ok i am confused should i go for a corsair h100i pro or corsair h60???

in my country the i7 8700k is about $400 which is very expensive especially when I only have a $1500  sgd budget...

Get a 240mm AIO, or giant air cooler, but look for one that's slightly cheaper maybe...

 

But you're in Singapore right?

Looking on Newegg SG the R5 2600 is the same price or less compared to an 8600K?

Or maybe their 8600K pricing is broken...

ok just checking. What happens if it has 12 threads?

More threads may be useful for higher minimum frame rates(1% and .1%), and is more useful if you ever want to do game streaming, rendering, encoding.

May also be useful for gaming in the near future.
 

If you were wondering about the R5 2600 vs 8600K, the 8600K is maybe 15-25% faster for gaming ryzen getting at least 100fps in the average AAA game already though, but the i5 generally costs more.

Intel's 9th gen is also coming soon and will at least be soldered so it's competitive with ryzen on thermals.

The 8600K is perfectly fine for pure gaming to put it simply.

 

It'll just use about 150W at 1.4V if you're trying to hit 5ghz, so the bigger the cooler the better, especially before delidding.

[rekt1]

so overall i should get these

 

i5 8600k

corsair h100i pro rgb 

asus rog strix z370-f

samsung 860 evo 500gb

1tb wd hdd

corsair vengeance pro rgb 2666mhz/corsair vengeance LPX 3000mhz 16gb

coolermaster lite 5 rgb

evga 650w supernova psu

 

still trying to find out which is better for my system. evga gtx 1080 sc vs evga gtx 1080 ftw.

Perfectly fine PC, I just tend to focus on better value parts in general.

 

Except that case has no airflow, should get something with a mesh front

 

and look for like an EVGA GQ PUS, or better yet a Seasonic Focus Gold

ok will do. But u said last time that i can remove the front panel to give it like an airflow

 

[rekt1]

oh and what is the difference between the supernova and GQ plus

Well the Supernova isn't even on the list I don't think, GQ is Tier 2
 

Although I think only the "Supernova NEX" PSUs were the ones to avoid...rest are probably acceptable G2/G3

[rekt1]

so which is better the EVGA GTX 1080 SC or the EVAG GTX 1080 FTW?

FTW is a bit bigger looks like, probably the one to buy if the price is the same.
