Gaming PC | First time building a pc | Anything to change? | GTX 1070

So my laptop just died, and I decided to purchase a new computer. This is the build so far:

i5-6600K (Med~High OC, that's for sure)
8GB X 1 RAM 2400Mhz CL15
Gigabyte GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5
Corsair Hydro H100i GTX Extreme
SSD Samsung EVO 850 250GB
Corsair Air 240
Seasonic 650W Active PFC Modular 80+ Gold X-650

When the next generation of Nvidia's GPU comes out, I'll buy. for now, no "need" of gpu, just a ready system for it.

How's the build? Any better\cheaper CPU cooler + PSU I can get? is 650W good for both cpu and gpu OC?

That looks like a solid setup, I wouldn't change anything there

everything seems fine, I usually don't advice liquid cooling as its not needed for medium over clocks I have my I5-6600k OC'ed to 4.2Ghz with an air cooler with no problems, also liquid cooling can be loud and very expensive I would say use air cooling like the 212evo DH-14 or BeQuiet! dark rock pro3.

I actually want to OC IT TO 4.5Ghz (I hope for) and have a silent pc. Are you sure "212evo DH-14 or BeQuiet! dark rock pro3" is enough?

Btw, the case it small, sadly because of that, I can't install my Arctic freezer 7 pro rev 2.

 

[Kevern_11]

I don't think those would be for 4.5

You should go for 2x4GB RAM instead of 1x8GB RAM. This will allow dual channel operation, very minor improvements but worthwhile.

the evo 212 is for medium oc's the Noctua DH-14 and the Dark rock pro3 should be more than capable of 4.5Ghz as I have a medica fan cooler and it easily gets me 4.2Ghz with idle temps of around 20C

G.Skill Ripjaws-V 2x4GB DDR4 2400Mhz CL15 Kit is fine?

Yes that would do nicely!

I see. So lets say I have an OCed CPU to 4.5, OCed GTX 970 (for example), and the Dark Rock Pro 3... Will 650W survive it?

Change a little bit the hardwares:

Модель компьютера:Build Intel

Processor Intel: Intel Core i5 6600K 3.5Ghz 6MB Cache s1151 - Tray 1

CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 CPU Cooler 1

Motherboards for Intel: Gigabyte GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5 LGA1151, Intel Z170, DDR4, 3xPCI-E, VGA, DVI, HDMI 1

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws-4 2x4GB DDR4 2400Mhz CL15 Kit 1

Solid-State Drives (SSD): Samsung 850 EVO Series MZ-75E250 250GB SSD SATA III 1

Power Supply: SeaSonic 850W Active PFC Modular 80+ Gold X-850 SS-850KM/X-850 PSU 1

Assembly: дшлбъ озщб щмн - озмчйн щм чйй.ас.фй 1

ignore the cpu cooler, I'll change it by the time. the change from 650W to 850W is around the 10~15$, so Its worth it I think.

with the high end PSU you chose 650W is more than enough for the setup you want, I run an OC'ed I5-6600k and an R9 290x on an EVGA 650w G2 psu and have no power issues.

Happt to hear that. Thank you!
