Just my opinion, I am no expert, but these seem like the best choices as they are popular, and consideration how much work it would take to design them.
Also check the most popular on Amazon, Newegg and PC part picker.
CPUs from one socket look almost the same right?
So a LGA 1151 and AM3+ CPUs.
For RAM, classic PCB with black chips, maybe another one with a very simple heatspreader in different colors, as it would take quite a lot of work to create realistic heatspreaders for little benefit IMO.
Any HDD, they all look similar.
For SSDs, Samsung are the most popular and very simple to do.
Three most popular CPU coolers prolly are CRYORIG H7, Hyper 212 EVO, and Corsair H100i, maybe with addition of a single fan AIO like Corsair H55.
GPUs are tougher:
Motherboards and cases: the hardest parts to pick, almost every one part is completely different from the other.
Just go by the most popular.
Anything I forgot?
May I suggest that you switch out the low profile Noctua cooler for the [Cryorig H7]?
It'd offer cooler temps at a lower noise, and looks great, in my opinion.
Other than that, impressive build!
Yeah, I got a GTX1080 and a i7-7700K(neither of which are over-clocked at the moment), but my cooler is the relatively inexpensive CRYORIG H7(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S7YA5FQ/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I based my build off of a freind's build (which is why I went with that particular cooler), but he got a GTX-1070 and an i5-6600K for his build, so I guess when I went for the 1080/i7-7700k upgrades I probably should have gotten a better cooler as well. This was the first time I had ever built a PC, and going with a liquid-cooling system just seemed out of my league at the moment.
The H7 is $35 from newegg my friend
Also $35 shipped from amazon
https://www.amazon.ca/Cryorig-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/
But we frequently get extra $10 rebate on the 212 EVO if you wait.
I am almost certain many air coolers at this price point will outperform this AIO.
The cryorig H7 is on sale right now for $35 and I am pretty sure it will stomp this cooler any day of the week.
Did you buy him the card already? The RX 470 and RX480 are coming at the end of the month and will both feature better performance in battlefield and GTA and both are cheaper than that $250 380 you have in the cart.
But to answer your questions. No the 860k won't be much of a bottleneck in those games. Especially if you overclock it a bit with a good cooler. That cooler in your list only does a light overclock.
Can I also make a few suggestions?
You're building budget but went with a $200 monitor? Might as well spring for freesync and 1ms response time while you're at it.
Better Cooler - trust me it's worth it
2 Sticks of 4GB Instead for Dual Channel
Wifi Pci card over usb wifi
Why not a nice Micro Atx case to match the motherboard
Haven't upgraded anything other than my GPU for about 6 years now so you could say I'm a bit rusty when it comes to part picking. I'll probably go for the i5-9600k and instead of the AIO Ill probably get the Cryorig CR-H7A. Can you suggest a good OC-able motherboard that won't break the bank?
Cryorig H7
Instead of the 212 Evo, how about Cryorig H7? Same price range, way better.
Decent machine however few bits and pieces:
Cryorig H7 is 10 bucks more but is a lot better (and much easier to install) than the 212. It'll run cooler, quieter, and generally better than the 212 for 10 bucks. Unless you're super stretched thin, I'd recommend it.
The 970 is an interesting choice but I think I'd recommend either the r9 390 if you want to buy something now (gives you 8gb of vram and great performance for $300) or if you can wait a few weeks, the rx 480 is coming out. I'd wait for benchmarks to come out but at $200 for the 4gb model and $250 for the 8gb model, it looks like a beast of a card. If you can wait, that's a great card to pickup.
Check out the Cryorig H7
I went with the cryorig h7. At $35, it's one of the best value coolers (I believe it's generally the step-up from the 212 EVO). I have it sitting on my 6700k and overclocked temps cap out at like 65.
I looked at this when I was making my decision initially.
I would like to know this as well because the Cryorig is also on sale for a even bigger discount.
https://www.amazon.ca/Cryorig-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/ref=pd_sbs_147_6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BBHT5S0VYCNRC4CK3W4C
Speaking of being in stock, the H7 is back in stock at Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
Not really a sale price but compared to the crazy low availability markup some sites were charging its not bad. Keep in mind the 2 fan version is only a couple bucks more.
CPU Cooler: Buy the Cyrorig H7. It's the best in it's price point at the moment, and looks amazing. You won't need a better cooler for anything unless you want to overclock, which you really don't need to do with a CPU as good as yours.
Video Card: For 1080p@60fps, I would advise the GTX 1060 or the RX 480. Both will crush 60fps at 1080p, but if you want extra future-proofing at a higher price, go for the GTX 1070. The 1060(try for 6GB), and the RX 480(try for 8GB) are excellent cards that will run any modern game well, even at 1440p. The 1070 is even better, but only really needed if you want something like Hairworks for The Witcher 3 or intensive mods for Skyrim.
RAM:Since you have a motherboard with 4 RAM slots, get another 2 4GB sticks of your current RAM and run it in quad channel, 16GB in quad channel is amazing for modern games, although your RAM's speed isn't probably high enough nowadays.
PSU:Upgrade if you want to(I'd advise it), but I won't go advising you on any because PSU's can be so inconsistent. Just try for one above 600w that gets good reviews and few failures, unless you feel OK about your current one.

I always liked this CPU fan and it looks alright. ofcourse you can always go the RGB route but you gotta pay the RGB tax. https://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B00S7YA5FQ/ranky-20
There's this - https://www.alternate.co.uk/Cryorig/H7/html/product/1174912 - "Ready to dispatch in 54 days"!!!
Also a couple of European sellers on Amazon (UK) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00S7YA5FQ/ref=dp_olp_0?ie=UTF8&condition=all - but expensive.
Or just go with the tried and tested Hyper 212 EVO!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00S7YA5FQ?pc_redir=T1&tag=pcpapi-20
Also the hyper Eco 212 or something like that are both pretty good, I think the hyper can be sort of large though but would just do a google search of air coolers and see what works with your case
... I can't remember what changed but it still looks good :)
The H7 is $35 on Amazon.
Yep! One extra thing though, even if you don't overclock it I'd suggest getting a new CPU cooler unless you already have an aftermarket one. The Cryorig H7 seems to be the best recommendation right now.
actually, i found a cpu cooler better than the hyper 212 evo and is smaller and slightly cheaper. The Cryorig H7 is only 145mm in height, so it fits in smaller cases, looks way nicer, and performs better, ive had both of them. This cpu cooler runs at 20c idle and playing gta 5/bf4/ csgo only reaches 45c, which is REALLY good. Check it out.
It's a little more expensive but the Cryorig H7 is a good cooler and only 145mm tall:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/
The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is basically the standard for air cooling, and cost $30. It'd be perfect for running at stock clock speeds and it should offer enough headroom for very mild overclocks.
The Cryorig H7 is extremely similar. I think I remember seeing a review that mentioned a better fin pattern or something like that so it's supposed to be marginally better than the 212. And the white fan looks pretty cool. I know that this one may or may not require an AM4 adapter kit depending whether or not it comes with the revised backplate. But you can just request that from Cryorig and they'll send on to you.
Yeah mine is OC'd using a default overclocking profile from my motherboard. Here is the cooler I've been using.
An 8600k is a great choice and it'd save you $110 so you could upgrade to a 1070ti (link) or 1080 (link) to get better gaming performance.
The k chips don't come with stock coolers anymore, and the stock coolers wouldn't be adequate anyway. Since you don't plan to OC, a Cryorig H7 (link) would fit the bill too keep it cool and quiet while still fitting in the same budget.
Thermaltake Contac Silent 12
Cryorig H7
Those would work and direct the air out of the back instead of up. You can fit up to a 160mm cooler in your case. Both of those are shorter than that.
We have the same build with a few differences. I'm going with the Inwin 101 ATX Case (Black). Z370P motherboard and a Cryorig Cooler.
Would you recommend your motherboard and cooler? Or does it make no difference which I choose?
From the same place you buy your computer hardware of course. Anyways, you'll want a cooler that supports LGA 1151, which most do these days anyways.
Then you get to decide it you want an air cooler or a radiator cooler. here are a few for you to look at for reference:

Cheers!
For the fan, something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ will do. Remember that liquid cooler has two parts that make sound: pump and fan. Also they are more likely to break than air coolers

> It seems like the H60 wins out a little at max temperatures, but otherwise the H7 is as cool and they're equally noisy.
I second the MacBook recommendation. I am on one now, and it is perfect. I think the best part is that it already comes with Unix installed so you can play around with stuff that you want right from the start. If you build a pc and put linux on it, then you're good anyways. Windows is a no-go.
If you want to build a computer, (its a good idea, you might learn quite a bit) I'll help you out.
Since you seem to not know much about computers, I must fill you in. This is not a good time to do it. Ram shortages combined with super high GPU prices due to mining, and you have yourself a costly computer.
That being said, here you go. A couple things about it:
Regardless of if you get a laptop or you build your own, enjoy your computer. Seems daunting to build one at first, but it is really easy. Like Legos. I was terrified at first, but I've done it so many times now that I don't even have to think about it.
The prices on PCpartpicker are kinda fucked up for me, but the H7 can be found around 35 USD (Newegg, Amazon, etc.). It's similar performance as Noctua, for a fraction of the price (More than half the price).

Here's a copy/paste of a PM I sent somebody yesterday in regards of building a budget build. It may be worded weirdly since it was a direct message to him, buy you get the idea
_____
CPU
(and motherboard)
Are you familiar with Sandy/Ivy bridge processors? They're a godsend for budget computers (2500k/3570k). At 1080p gaming they perform near all the newer generation Intel processors.
Best thing? You can easily grab a 2500k from /r/hardwareswap for ~$100-$110. Hopefully you could find a 2500k/3570k motherboard combo for ~$180 shipped.
Pair that with a Cryorig H7 from Amazon ($35) and overclock the processor to 4.0-4.5ghz and you have a processor booming in performance for cheap!
So, to recap, look into getting 2500k or a 3570k . Both are LGA 1155 processors and share the same motherboards. Buy from /r/hardwareswap and get your motherboard there, too
PSU
Power Supply | SeaSonic 520W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply | $61.99 @ SuperBiiz
Priced great for a terrific PSU.
#CPU cooler $35
Cryorig H7
Keeps my 2500k @ 4.5ghz cool at low temps at low noise. I can't suggest this cooler enough.
#Storage
Hopefully you can find a SSD on /r/hardwareswap. I suggest this route: Get a 250gb SSD now and hold off on getting a HDD. The 250gb will hold you for a while and the money you would have spent on the HDD can go elsewhere. You can add a HDD in a few months when you actually need more storage.
#Case
You're going to be hard pressed to find a case on /r/hardwareswap due to high price in shipping. Keep an eye out on /r/buildapcsales or take a look over at Corsair refurbished (notice the tabs on the left side for components) or just but new
#RAM
Ram is cheap enough. I've noticed RAM prices over at /r/hardwareswap is near the price of new. So, your call there. If you're using a case with a window, and since you'll be using DDR3 RAM, and want some type of color scheme I suggest these (and I do suggest getting 8gb of RAM, you'd be wasting money on more and you can always add more RAM later)

There is a 1600mhz and 1866mhz variant of the three colors. I linked all of them so you'd see all the prices. Right now the 2x4gb 1600mhz blue is $30 which is a nice price, and the 1866mhz 2x4gb Blue
is $34 (Sandy/Ivy bridge love fast ram, might be worth the extra $4)
#GPU
This is where things are kinda in the grey area. Current generation GPUs are about to fall in face value like the USA housing market did in 2009. I highly suggest building the entire computer first minus the GPU. Once AMD releases the Rx 480 at $200, all current GPUs will be forced to fall in price. If the Rx 480 performs like it is marketed to, we could see the R9 390 get sold on /r/hardwareswap for like ~$180, which is insane.
So, to recap, build the PC now taking your time on /r/hardwareswap scoping out for good prices on stuff, and by the time you have the PC built GPU prices should be in your favor.
Pretty sure I covered everything there. If I missed anything or if you have any questions let me know. Again, 2500k/3570k is your ticket to performance on the cheap.
You'd be surprised how close in performance the new Skylake processors are to the older Sandy/Ivy (2500k/3570k) are. Watch this video (note: those are the i7 variants, but makes the same difference with the i5's) Used 2500k/3570k (both basically sdame processor, the 3570k vbeing a little better) i5 is the best bang for buck processor on the market.
When it comes to gaming, DDR3 and DDR4 make almost no difference, in some cases DDR3 does better with gaming. Here is Linus saying so
Some other things to note:
For builds $1050 and up, you recommend an EVGA NEX 650W PSU. While this PSU won't fry your build or burn down your house, it has poor ripple control as shown in this [review] (http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&file=print&reid=442). I would recommend a gen 2 EVGA PSU (G2/GS/etc), or potentially a different brand PSU (Corsair RMx series or Seasonic's G series).
In option 1 of your $1650 build, you recommend a [Cryorig C7 Cooler.] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0177GTV9U) This is a low profile cooler meant for small form factor builds, so I'm assuming you mixed it up with the Cryorig H7 cooler, designed for more standard towers. While the H7 gets the job done, you might as well invest in a beefier air cooler or switch over to liquid cooling at that price point.
Forget a new fan; you should get an entirely new cooler. The Cryorig H7 gets my vote if you're on a budget. Same price range as the 212, but about twice the surface area for heat dissipation.
Free UK delivery.
Though, at £54, it's a highly sub par cooler.
Here's one of the best air coolers on the market, for the same price.
Or, if you don't want to spend as much, the H7s bigger brother for £40.
Overclocking might postpone the need for an upgrade by a couple of years if not more depending on your demands.
Get this cooler:
http://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-H7-Tower-Cooler-Intel/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4UF2DZ6565
Worst case scenario if overclocking your CPU isnt enough, you will also be able to use this cooler for every other new CPU you might buy.
5820k is still a good CPU no doubt, but it's a couple generation old now. For around the same money, you can get 8700k if you can find one. Even if that's not available, you can also go 7800x, as that's the most recent in the similar lineup. 8700k is the best choise right now though.
Maybe you have the motherboard and the CPU, in which case, just stick with those two and you'll be fine.
And don't aim for 30+ fps at any resolution. I highly suggest aiming for at least 80~100+ fps with that kind of budget. GTX 1080 will do its job just fine.
GPUs have their own VRAM, and GTX 1080 has 8GB on its own. Your 16 GB ram choise is fine, and that's independent of what GPU you go for.
And lastly, get a differernt CPU cooler. I see that Hyper 212 EVO recommended to everyone and their brothers and sisters, but there are better coolers for the same money. I actually hate people going for that one with a budget closing in on $2000. Get a better one. Your budget is not a 600~800 range which would make me understand for that cooler.
Get something at least like this thing for i7 CPUs that can overclock. Better thermals, better acoustics, and better looks. Or you can also choose this if you still want to cheap out on cooling.
https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-H7-Tower-Cooler-Intel/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
Can't tell you why it says preorder I bought mine from amazon and it's been out since last year but yea amazon has it for 35 which is what I paid for it. To give some context on its efficiency my cpu at idle sits at 25-30c which is amazing. When under a heavy load like watching a stream and playing a triple A title game at max settings I haven't seen it get past 60c which is super amazing.
If you do have the money now I would pull the trigger on this build its very solid. If you only have enough to get a few parts now and the rest in a couple weeks immediately get the 1070 because that will be the first thing out of all those parts to go out of stock. I've been watching the 1070/1080 stock get demolished as soon as a store has some.
What about amazon?
https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-H7-Tower-Cooler-Intel/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468924474&sr=8-1&keywords=cryorig+h7
Cant see why it cant run crossfire. So it should be ok. But if it were me, I would probably went for a single card configuration since not many games has SLI/crossfire
Off topic,
For extra $5, u can get Cryorig H7 for a much better cooling
Actually get this cooler instead https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/
I haven't looked at the website you linked, but just right off the top :
Basically, I'm recommending you save money by getting a cheaper CPU cooler and cheaper RAM, then putting that towards getting a solid SSD. I'd recommend ~250GB minimum, but 500GB SSDs on sale often offer more storage per dollar and would therefore be a better value. Plus you'll be sad if you run out of space on your SSD for your most often used programs/games.
Good luck!
Let me first say im not an expert in Air coolers for cpus, I have always used All in one(AIO) water coolers. AIO are definitely more expensive, but easier to install, have better cooling ability, but can be louder than Air coolers.
Air coolers tend to have better price/performance and are cheaper but tend to be harder to install.
These two below are two of the most popular due to price/performance so they are worth looking at on the AUS side of things to.
https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/B005O65JXI
This article also has some good info on both types and good suggestions at different price points
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-cpu-coolers,4181.html
The only other thing would be to try and get a EVGA G series psu or a Seasonic G series(What i have, caught it on sale tho). If you cant find one of them Corsair makes some cool ones too. You want to get a Bronze 80 rated PSU at the very least. They are one of the most important parts of the pc and one going bad can cause damage or a lot of instability once your gpu/cpu starts kicking in.
Im not familar with the cases you choose but its important to look at the manufacturers website of the case to see how much clearance each case provides for air coolers since they can be big as hell.
That all being said I think the UMART build is the best out of the three with the PC CASE GEAR coming in second.
The UMART is only $100 AUS more than the others according to the image but with that build you get better performance with the ability to overclock later down the line if you need more power eventually.
Plus you get slightly faster ram so overall it looks better.
Remember that you can upgrade to a better case, GPU or cpu fan etc down the line if you outgrow your current selection but the CPU/PSU, and Motherboard will be fine for a lot of years so its worth spending a little more on them now.
Also sheesh man those AUS prices are no joke, that 470 would only be around $160-180 in the states
I don't know, if you're doing heavy amount of video editing, maybe consider a 32GB (2x16GB kit) instead? Or maybe just put the extra money towards the GPU just in case if an aftermarket GTX 1080 from MSI / EVGA / Asus cost higher than the MSRP.
Also, forget what I said about the CM 212 Evo. Get the Cryorig H7 instead which doesn't cost much more and have no issue with RAM clearance unlike the 212 Evo.
wasn't this CPU cooler $35 last year? why did it double in price.

4790K can get pretty when hot overclocked (I have one) but you don't need anything huge. For a Corsair Spec-02 I recommend something like the Corsair H60 (120MM AIO) if tall DIMMs are an issue else go with something cheaper like this the Cryorig H7 Tower Cooler as it has lower height restrictions and better RAM compatibility over something typical like the overrated Evo 212:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00S7YA5FQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Sounds good my friend! Yeah, hopefully the i7 Skylakes normalize.
I prefer Noctuas myself, and I'm not sure if you've heard of Cryorig, they're a newcomer in the CPU cooling business. I sound like a salesman but I'm actually considering one of their coolers called the H7, it's almost similar to performance to Noctua U12S, but priced close to the CM 212 EVO @ $34.99, while looking great with a black top-plate. I was browsing builds on PCPartpicker with the Cryorig and I've been drooling at the aesthetics. But you can't go wrong with Noctuas! I've used the L9i & U9S and they're amazing!

You can save $10 by getting a Cryorig H7 cooler from Amazon or Newegg instead of the Pure Rock. Performs within 1 degree C to the Pure Rock and outputs similar sound levels.
Yeah I would definitely check out the Cryorig H7.
It is smaller, quieter, and performs better than the 212 Evo. It is also much less of a hassle to install, and will fit in the V31.
Thanks for the fantastic advice! Someone actually said the same thing about the C7, but suggested the H7

Just a tad over budget but you can easily bring it down to $1400 if you feel like it by going with an i5 for $200. And I have the optical drive needed to install windows, etc. With this GPU you should be more than good for now and the near future. glhf!
If you can wait till July 27th.

My cooler is the CryoRig H7. Seating it was a bit sloppy and awkward. It slid back & forth a bit while I was trying to tighten it into place. Here is a pic of it. It turned out pretty even and centered when I was done. Not sure what the problem could be.
Nope, my MoBo came with nothing unfortunately. Not even a manual. I just ordered some data cables for a few bucks. Hopefully it works out.
that cpu cooler is out of stock, is this the same one? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/ref=psdc_430499031_t3_B0177GTV9U
That's the newer model with LED backlighting, I was talking about the original https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
I actually can't find it on UK based websites for some reason...
I purchased a syringe-like tube that had enough for one use. I think I may purchase the one you mentioned as I've heard talk about it and it's inexpensive. Is this the one?
I got an answer from Toms Hardware saying that I should get the Cryorig H7 as it is slightly better at cooling and has space for ram, opinions on this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cryorig-CR-H7A-Tower-Cooler-Intel/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1526686398&sr=1-1&keywords=Cryorig+H7
I've got an i5-750 (yes old but it's doing well) with the stock cooler on it and I'd love a new aftermarket cooler so I can try some overclocking. Gigabyte P55A-UD3 mobo.
SHould I get this cooler? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/ref=psdc_11036281_t1_B01IBSR18G
I think it will fit my mobo socket and I think it should work well.
Or is there something of better value?
The H7 is $39.74 + free shipping on Newegg.
$34.99 +$5 shipping on Amazon, through Canada Computers. If you live near one of those you can buy it in store to get it for $35.

Didn't know you were in Canada, that does complicate things a bit. You could try Amazon.ca as they have the Cryorig H7 in stock. /u/eluveitie93 mentioned in another comment that they have the same case as you do (Corsair 100R) and the Hyper 212 Evo fit in their case just fine.
If that's the case, you could go with Newegg.ca and get the Hyper 212 Evo from them since they also have a rebate, bringing it down to $26 after rebate.
Newegg.ca Hyper 212
Amazon.ca Cryorig H7
As far as air cooling goes, both are excellent coolers and they are only surpassed by the Noctua NH-D15 (which is 165mm tall with fans and costs twice as much).
https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
Its a little bit smaller and cools better.
If you wan't something low priced that will cool better, the Cryorig H7 is pretty good for $35, and to get the AM4 mounting hardware you have to go here and fill out a short form to get one free. Most of the cheaper coolers don't support AM4 right out of the box, you usually have to contact them to get an AM4 bracket. Hopefully most of them start shipping with AM4 mounting hardware in the box soon.
Your suggestion was $10 cheaper than the CRYORIG H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler, so I swapped it out in the build... thanks for the input!
Yes you can upgrade to 32GB if need be.

Low - mid eighties aren't anything to be worried about, if it starts getting into the 90s I'd pick up a Cryorig H7.
No worries,
Cryorig H7 has a good rep
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cryorig-CR-H7A-Tower-Cooler-Intel/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
That s more than enough, you could even get an air cooler for $30 That will perform almost similar to this one. https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/ref=sr_1_10?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1503689082&sr=1-10&keywords=Cpu+cooler
Yeah I was looking at the Cryorig H7 Tower Cooler for a cooling solution. Only thing holding me back is my current mobo doesn't support overclocking, so I'm going to be forking out $100+ for a better one. Oh well. We'll see if it's worth it.

Made some changes for better value/performance.
Change cpu to 6500 instead of 6600k. You don't have a z170 board for overclocking so it's wasted. The 6500 is nearly identical unless you overclock with a 6600k+z170.
Changed psu to much better seasonic modular gold. It's on sale on Newegg for 60 bucks. A steal.
Changed gpu to more popular gigabyte model, cheaper.
Added case since I was still under 1k. Very popular s340 but you could use anything under 100 bucks and stay under budget.
Changed cooler to Cryorig H7. The 212+ is nice but needs a break and the H7 looks way better.
I know you mentioned staying with Amazon but much of this wasn't in stock and Newegg has free shipping. Just a thought.
Edit: The cooler is cheaper and is on Amazon.

It should still work. On the amazon page it says it fits AMD CPUs as well. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/?tag=pcp0f-20
I have it myself, works like a charm. Here it is if you're wondering, OP. But then again, you do have a microATX case.
There are a few options.
First is comparible to the Evo 212 but much smaller. https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Mini-Tower-Cooler-INTEL/dp/B0177GTTB0
Second is bigger but better , you'll have to check if it fits your case. https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
Alternative CPU coolers:
AIR
Be Quiet! Dark Rock 4 $75
Cryorig H7 $36

AIO WATER:
Corsair H100i $100/120(RGB)
EVGA CLC 280 $110
(No need for case fans if you're going with AIO WATER)
ALTERNATIVE BOARDS:
AsRock TaiChi Z370 $212
Asus Prime Z370-A $159
There's a few things, first of all Intel K series cpu's don't come with a cooler in the box, so you will need one. A good (but pricey) cpu cooler is the Noctua NH-D15. If you would like something more affordable the Cryorig H7 will work, although the temps will be higher than the former.
Yes, all desktop ram will fit into all desktop motherboards (sodimm or laptop ram will not).
The hard drive you selected doesen't have great reviews, for $8 more you can get a [WD Blue](https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Cache-Desktop-Drive-WD10EZEX/dp/B0088PUEPK
/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1537074431&sr=1-1&keywords=western+digital+-+caviar+blue+1tb+3.5%22+7200rpm+internal+hard+drive) or a Seagate Barracudda, both more reputable.
The cases you linked are good for their price, but you will most likely need 1-2 more case fans as they only come with 1. If you would like some cheap fans these will do, but they wont be as good as something like the Noctua NF-F12
Dont worry about asking questions! It's what we are here for :) I'm sure I missed something, so if you have any other questions make sure to ask!
Edit 1: Do you already have windows? If not make sure to but it, as you wont have an Operation System without it (Unless you want to run linux).
It's very likely that the designers of the case took that into consideration when listing the measurements. If you are okay buying parts from Amazon, the H7 is in stock. Coolers that are able to cool the 7700K starting getting expensive at this point.
Not bad!
One change: You'll get much better cooling performance with a "tower-style" cooler like this one: https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1500495617&sr=1-1&keywords=cryorig
The cooler you've selected right now is made for small-form-factor cases where fitting the cooler into a predetermined amount of space is more important that overall cooling performance.
[Noctua NH-U12S] (https://www.amazon.com/noctua-NH-U12S-Noctua-CPU-Cooler/dp/B00C9EYVGY)
[CRYORIG H7] (https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ)
I'd recommend either the Hyper 212 EVO or the Cryorig H7.
Neither.
[Cryorig H7] (https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1540946834&sr=8-2&keywords=cryorig+h7)
better than the 212 evo BUT since you already have the evo, go with that over the stealth.
Heh, I already had this one in mind to suggest in case the other two didn't fit - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cryorig-CR-H7A-Tower-Cooler-Intel/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
It's also a very good cooler, performs better than the 212 but below the Scythe Mugen, so in between.
It's height is only 145mm vs the 212's 159mm so it will definitely fit. But double check of course.
But get that, it's cheap and good and fits your case.
Perhaps. Just a quick search brought up this as a good air cooler: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/?tag=pcpapi-20
I could go water cooling if that isn't enough, but I'm not overclocking (I can't because it's not a 6500K) so hopefully I wouldn't need to do water cooling.
But aside from the heating issue, I'm still not sure if that is what is causing the rebooting. Any idea why the computer would stay on while the test was running then reboot the moment I quit it?
if that so, I will go for RX 480 8 GB the difference in price is not that big.
about the stock cooler, you mean this one, there is a cost difference so is the noise difference that bad??
Cryorig H7
if you want a decent upgrade to the cpu cooler (quieter/better looking) because of the window, highly recommend
the cryorig m9i:
http://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Mini-Tower-Cooler-INTEL/dp/B0177GTTB0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457930284&sr=8-1&keywords=cryorig+m9i

(both of these perform close to or better than the hyper 212, and look FAR better in a case).
they're also insanely easy to install vs a lot of other coolers.
I've had some stock intel coolers that were absolutely obnoxious when the speeds increased from idle. (edit-formatting)
http://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-H7-Tower-Cooler-Intel/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
Cryorig H7 is highly acclaimed.
If you can't afford the extra $5 you can go for the Hyper 212 evo
Should I then go all out and buy an expensive CPU cooler or rather low cost one?

Good advice. Since it's the K version of the 7700 I would like to overclock a little perhaps.
Alright, so how about the Cryorig H7?
Folks on Part Picker are saying I should have went with: https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
Bastards!
It's possible that the mounting system is coming loose or that you improperly mounted it last time you cleaned/changed the paste.
I'd start with that since it's the cheapest option of the bunch.
I'd also look at the absolute CPU fan speed (which you should be able to see in HWMonitor) and compare that to what the Internet says you should get.
If ultimately you need a better cooler, I don't know what to think about the Wraith cooler you brought up. It's probably a nice upgrade.
The Cryorig H7 is currently very well regarded in that price bracket though, both cooling and temperature wise.
Of course you can always step up even higher.

CRYORIG M9i Mini Tower Cooler
and
CRYORIG H7 Tower Cooler
Is it purely size? They both have good reviews, but the mini is cheaper and seems on par with the 212 cooler. Would the H7 be better, and justify the ~+$10?
http://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-H7-Tower-Cooler-Intel/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
is this the right one wanna check before i order wrong item again haha.
and ram is already shipped. Dang wish i knew mire about these stuff. Well hopefully won't be to bad

Dunno why it's not on PCP, but this cooler is better and cheaper. The 120mm rad closed loop coolers are just not worth it. They're loud and pretty shit.
The 1070 would be alright for 4k. If it's performance is anywhere around the 980 Ti, which it looks like it is, you'll be able to play games at 4k on higher settings with AA turned off.
Basically the only difference between the 1700 and the 1700x is that the 1700x is guaranteed to clock to 3.4 GHz and Turbo to 3.8 GHz on certain cores. There should be additional overclocking headroom on top of that but it's never guaranteed. Not all 1700x's can overclock to the same frequency this is the "silicon lottery".
The 1700 is clocked at 3.0 GHz (3.7 GHz Turbo) most of the time it's overclockable to the same if not better performance than the stock 1700x but this isn't guaranteed and you'll probably need a better than stock cooler to get it there. This is partially why the 1700x doesn't ship with a cooler. It needs a beefier cooler like the Cryorig H7 which is an excellent budget option, you just might need a free AM4 bracket since they're still not shipping with one. The Cooler Master 212 is the same story, the H5 is shipping with the bracket included.
You don't need a water cooler, they are generally lower profile so if you have a small case you might need one but often the stock fans aren't much quieter than the fan on the CPU coolers I linked. In brief periods of thermal testing they outperform air coolers but for long gaming sessions the difference in CPU thermals is minimal especially given the increased cost. They do look dope though.
1600 vs 1600x
1450 vs 1600 vs 1700
Ya ok ur right the one that came out like 2yrs ago was like 30-40. I think so Cryorig H7 Tower Cooler https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_X2ayDb6ZXJTAD
The 5800k is a pretty old CPU, I can definitely see it bottlenecking your 970.
The 6600k is a great choice and wont hold anything back. Just remember you will need a Z170 chipset to overclock the CPU. You will also need DDR4 RAM.
This MSI has built in WiFi and bluetooth at a good price.
Lastly, the 6600k doesnt come with a cooler so you will need to buy one. The Cryorig H7 is also a good one.
> cryorig h 7 if you want
this 1 correct? https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-H7-Tower-Cooler-Intel/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
> Cryorug H7
is this one fine? link
also is that a heatsink or a solid cooler? Like I said, I don't really know much about this, would be awesome if you could clear this up before that solid cooler is ship to me.
I'm also aware i can have both the HDD and the SSD.
Though if i'm going to spend money on the SSD at least i'll want to have the full advantage (OS+software).
However, after looking at how much space my steam library should take (I don't have a PC anymore, and the HDD is 1600km from me), i believe i'd be able to just uninstall all games from the HDD, clone the HDD into the SSD, and then reinstall the games on the HDD (with the ones i want to play staying on the SSD).
I can't buy from amazon.com, it would have to be from .co.uk: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Computers-Cryorig-H7-alle-Sockel/dp/B00S7YA5FQ?ie=UTF8&tag=pcp0f-21
I suggest getting a Cryorig H7 instead. About the same price point and a bit easier to install than the Hyper 212.
What about this cooler? It has a similar price and from what I see it's smaller.
Swap your CPU cooler out for a Cryroig H7:
https://www.amazon.ca/Cryorig-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
There's really no reason anyone should be buying the 212 EVO now unless there's a really good deal. The Cryosrig has replaced it as the budget king.
https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
$34.99 or so. I've heard good things about this air cooler.
Get this https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
It is... just at an extortionate rate.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cryorig-CR-H7A-H7-alle-Sockel/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
50s are fine for idle, under load you should try to avoid getting much into the 80s.
Your slowdowns shouldn't be happening with a 6700 and a 1060 at 1080, and I doubt they're thermal related with your reported temps. What power supply are you using? Do you have the appropriate power going to the GPU? What's your RAM setup?
As for an aftermarket CPU cooler, I use the Cryorig H7 and it works really well.
[This over the EVO?] (https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485488076&sr=8-1&keywords=cryorig+h7)
Hyper 212 isn't the best anymore, there's a couple options. This one runs cooler and quieter
https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-Tower-Cooler-Intel-CPUs/dp/B00S7YA5FQ
Get this H7 Cooler it will look great and keep temps much lower than stock fan. Decently cheap as well.
Go with whatever you feel safer with, There's no shame in not having a liquid cooler... If anything, get the 212 Evo, its cheap and it gets the job done. Plus its pretty much silent, much quieter than that loud ass stock fan.
I made the switch from a 212 Evo to an H100i
