If your current system is what is in your sig then I'd consider upgrading the GPU and possibly the CPU cooler to overclocked that 4790K as it's still a excellent CPU by today's standards and would play those games quite well.


If you need a new system then I'd go with this.

It's actually for a friend, but for my system what cooler would you recommend? Also what gpu? Thank you for the new system link! Awesome

 

[WildCard999]

For yours I'd probably look at the Be Quiet Dark Rock 3 or Pro or a Larger Noctua, these coolers work great however they can obstruct your RAM so that's something worth checking out. I would think with one of these coolers you could probably get to around 4.6-4.7 on that 4790K if needed but I'm sure it's still fine at stock. Heck, I'm running my 4770K (3.5ghz) at stock currently without issues.

For your video card this is not the time to buy one the prices are crazy high from the minning.

If your looking for a cooler I use this on my 4790K no clearance issues you can actually see all 4 memory slots.

Also, for my pc I have looked into the cryorig r1 universal before, maybe it's time to invest. Thanks for the note about the video card prices

Your also going to need a extra 120mm fan for the back of that case or move a front fan to the back blowing out.
That memory I also dont like.

What's wrong with the G.Skill Aegis? Good manufacturer & not a over sized heatsink which is good with a larger air cooler.

It's budget memory with poor 17 timings you can spend 10 bucks more and get better 15 timings 3000mhz memory.

I would even save some money on the cooler unless he's going to try for a high overclock.

For gaming I would in the lower end of his budget drop the K processor and pay the crazy price for a much better video card or spend a bit over the budget and keep the better video card.
It would make a huge difference in more demanding games like PUBG that is poorly optimized.

I'd probably push for the second build, while overclocking isn't necessary now it's a nice feature to have later on when the performance may be needed.
