[superninja12]

that depends on the case.

 

[Stacy1726]

ok can u recomend a cheap case and let me know what a good cpu cooler would be for all of that

 

[superninja12]

sure, lets make it a bit more personal.

There are cube cases mid tower cases with/without window.
So what colour would you like to have(usually its black or white xD)?

it provides a solid overclock or the regular h7 , which is 15% worse due 1 missing heatpipe (still amazing value )

Throwing a bit of my two cents in here at the last minute. The NH-D15 won't fit. It's a 165mm cooler and the P400 series only allows up to 160mm.

The H7 is a very nice cooler and a breeze to set up, I'd highly recommend it.

Odd that no one caught that an overlock being planned on a B250 board, which, alas...does not support overclocking..

Right, that little fact

Good catch, hopefully the OP checks back in before making final purchases.
