hello, id just like to know is this a good working rig and will it be good for gaming.

Also id like to know if any parts could be cycled out for something better for the same price range.

I'm going from a p8z68-v i5 2500k 8Gb ddr3 ram on win 7 pro (upgraded to win 10) GTX 750 ti x2
overseer RX-1 built about 5 years ago.

if you have any advice for me id be happy to be informed.

thankyou.

Looks pretty good, could trade out the h80 cooler for something like the Cryorig H7 or 212 EVO (both about $30ish) and cool better or the same as an H80

I would get off the corsair ram and get a trident Z.

- corsair make some of the best ram...but id recommend lpx3200 or 3000. As good as anything else and better than a lot.
- I agree could save money on cooler, however big benefit of the aio is they dump heat out of case, so depends on build
- 980 poor choice today. I'd go 1060 6gb
- you don't need 750w of psu
- you want AF fans for case, not SP
- id ditch the separate dads and get a single 500gb sata ssd

Went with sets of dominator rams in the past, and they all failed on me. no way im going back for corsair.

That's bad luck. They do still make some of the best stuff, up there with trident and g skill.

Corsair has good DRAM, GSkill is the price/performance leader and has been for a few years now. My big thing with Corsair is having to pay extra for their name

with comment (- you want AF fans for case, not SP) is that after factory AF and what is the abbreviation for SP ? sorry, don't do much social media stuff

- yes looking into the 1060 6Gb thankyou for that.

- if the power supply is above needed what do you recommend

ive not used ssd's and the m.2 looks so good. ssd's back about 5 years ago cost a lot and R/W was low and didn't like the fact it burned out, so giving them a got now. atm using Seagate Desktop HDD ST3000DM001 3TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5

with Tradesman1 comment I do need something for better cooling then a air cools cpu fan.. in a hot room with low air flow in summer don't help with O.C.'n (its just moving around hot air and gets hotter) I'm sweating more then a ice cube on a tin sheet xP

ive used vengeance corsair 1600 without any issue on last rigg

 

[burgessanthony]

Social media? I meant you need air flow oriented fans not pressure. So look for AF fans.

Really something like a corsair RM550x would be ideal for that build PSU wise.

I just meant you have a M2 and SATA SSD which is odd. Just either get a bigger M2 or a bigger SATA. For most stuff you won't tell the difference.
