Hello all. Built my last rig in 2011 and my GTX 560 finally died so it's time for an upgrade. My main focus will be gaming/streaming. I'm hoping I'll be able to keep a few of my old components to save some money. Any input/feedback is greatly appreciated!
Approximate Purchase Date:
Within a month
Budget Range:
$1000-1200
System Usage from Most to Least Important

No
Parts to Upgrade:
CPU: i7700k 4.2 ghz quad core
https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16819117726
Mobo: Asus ROG Maximus ix hero
https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16813132927

Memory: Undecided pending budget
Case: Cool master 932 HAF Advanced (great case, full tower)
https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16811119213
PSU: Cooler Master silent pro M 850w. Is it too old?

Do you need to buy OS: No, I'll be using windows 10 home 64 bit
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I've only dealt with Newegg but open to all
Location: US
Overclocking: Maybe
So thats the base for a build that I would want. I have a few questions for everyone. Will my PSU be compatible with all the new tech? Keeping everything stock, is a liquid cooling setup necessary or will an after market fan work fine?
I have an old 320 gig HD that I will probably be upgrading depending on the budget (possible SSD purchase also).
As for the memory, most of what I've read indicated that there's not a huge difference in speeds between the DDR4 2400 - 3000+, so I'm hoping to only spend about $100 on 16gb of memory.
I'm not too picky on the aesthetics, colored lights are cool but I care more about performance.
Thank you everyone in advance!
