whats the difference between psu?

 

 

The CSM is a MUCH better quality PSU compared to the Thermaltake.

Thermaltake's entry-level SMART line-up is pretty bad...nearly bottom-of-the-barrel quality.

^^^ Definitely. Also keep in mind you won't be able to OC that much without a much, much better cooler. My 8600K at 5GHz on 1.302v (IIRC, it may be pulling 1.312 tho), hits 81+C on an NH-D15S with two fans (It is stuffed vertically in an S340 Elite along with a 980 Ti, but I also have a good fan setup for the case), and was hitting 93C with a Cryorig H7. This is in synthetic tests though, under most gaming loads it doesn't get quite as hot, though still toasty. 

so what cooler do you suggest?

That is not a good choice of cooler for overclocking an 8600K at all.

 

Alternatives such as a Scythe Mugen 5, Arctic Freezer 33 eSports Edition, or be quiet! Dark Rock 4 will be much better options.

 

You could argue that rebate is a nice deal, but are you sure you're going to take advantage of that rebate anyway?

This is the build I gave him earlier, this is like his 4th topic about this thing lol

Keep in mind he had posted a built that was $1250, so I suggested this. Seems he tightened the budget since 5 minutes ago though.

Replace Hyper 212 with Cryorig H7. It performs and looks better at the same cost and go with CX550M for PSU

[DVA]

@GC0C0I know you want to save some money, but if you truly want a good gaming rig without overheating you will probably have to spend more on cooling. 

The only way anyone can make this any cheaper is if you go AMD or you don't overclock.

so what cooler do you suggest?

 

A 280mm AIO if you can mount it in the top (putting it in the front intake just feeds hot air into your GPU), or Noctua NH-D15/NH-D15S if you don't have room for the AIO or want air cooling. The NH-D15 coolers offer about the same performance as a 280mm AIO but should keep your VRMs a little cooler if you're worried about that. Keep in mind that the D15s are giant coolers and unless you exhaust them out the top you can't really fit two fans with the RAM socket layout on most boards. You'll also need at least 160mm of cooler clearance. My S340 Elite has that and the top fan is just barely touching the side panel when I put it on, so it's a very close fit. 

 

These CPUs just seem to be darn hot, the 8700K I had before hit 85C at stock speeds with the H5 Universal I had before, same cooler the 5GHz i5 was hitting 93C on.
