this is my final build,i'll like to to mild overclocking on it and it will be mainly used for gaming.
is there something wrong with it something i should change to get better performance?
 


i'll not be able to change cooler as it's not available here in india,i used pcpartpicker just to post here . i think i might have to go for z170-k instead of z170-a as the z170-a is not available here would that make much of a difference?
 


Ohh, you linked US pcpartpicker so I assumed you were in States....anyways.
That 212X is very good, get it. Also, the z170-k is solid too. Don't worry...
 


things in india are 40-50% costlier than in the states and z170-a is not even available here, only z170-ar and z170-pro gaming in the price range.
 


yes that is what i'm going for, selling my old fx6300 powered pc,this seemed like the right time to upgrade with the release of the gtx1060, will also be buying a benq 144hz monitor soon :)
 


1080p 144Hz will be awesome with your new build. Don't forget case fans.....it is hot as hell at our latitudes (I'm in Taiwan).
