Hi I'm going to be building a gaming computer and had a few questions about the components.
I currently plan on using an Intel i7 7700k processor, but I do not plan on overclocking it. It's on sale for a good deal and is the same price as the i7 7700 version, so I thought I minds well purchase that one instead.
Beginning with my first problem, I have no idea what cooler to use for the processor. I believe these models don't come with one and since I'm not overclocking it, I shouldn't need an overly good one.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me any suggestions towards this. I wouldn't really want to pay more than $50 CAD ($38 USD)
My second problem is I wanted help with the motherboard. I plan on purchasing a GTX 1060 6gb ver. or a GTX 1070 graphics card. I would also like to purchase a WiFi adapter as I most likely will not have access to Ethernet. I'm also worried that a power supply could possibly conflict with any of these, or does it not matter? I've seen them talk about how they are "intel 4th gen ready".
I picked out this motherboard however I noticed an AMD logo on it, and was worried it wouldn't be compatible, or simply cause problems with a Nvidia graphics card. So is there any other suggestions (if it does cause problems) within that $150 CAD (116 USD) price range? I could go a little bit higher if need be, such as switching to an i5 7600, to buy a better motherboard.
I would like to use DDR4 2400 Ram although switching to 2133 isn't too big of a deal for me as I heard there is a very minimal difference for gaming. Just to show all the parts I've picked out, here's the ram.
I currently plan on buying this case or this one.
I plan on using the computer for gaming at 1080p. Although some people consider the 1070 overkill I would like to try and "future proof" my computer. I will most likely be getting the 1060 anyway.
