I decided that I need an upgrade as my current computer is getting old and useless. I always wanted a nice computer so I decided to go for my dream machine. This will be my first solo build, I have been recruited to help assemble a friend's computer before. As it is expensive I don't want to purchase everything and then realise they are incompatible.
I am going for a computer that will run games at 4k at max(or near) settings for the next 3~5 years. I will also do work on it but I can use my laptop for that if needed.

First, is the cpu cooler enough?
and when I picked the RAM it appears that the C9 has better latency but the C10 is $10~20 more expensive. is there a reason for this? And another worry is that if the case I picked is big enough, as it looks as if it only has semi-good airflow.
Thank you for your time reading this.
