Hi all !

Budjet : around 2100$ cdn;

motherboard ; Asus prime Z390A

cpu; intel I5 9600k 6 core coffee lake(3.7)

memory; G SKILL trident(3200) 2x8g
Samsung evo m.2 (500g)

graphic: asus dual geforce gtx 1660ti (6gig.)

cooling ;corsair hydro H55 or a noctua nh-d14s or 15s ???

PS: EVGA supernova g2 650w.

case: Fractal design Meshify s2

your insight would be appreciated : my doubt are about cooling . i'm an average player .
I don't overclock or very little because i keep my pc's on very long periods (7 to 10 yrs.)
Thank you all for your insight

Get a different CPU cooler. 120mm AiO liquid coolers are not very good. Either get a 240-280mm AiO or a good air cooler. Corsair liquid coolers have a 2 year warranty. NZXT liquid coolers have a 6 year warranty.

For a 7-10 year system I would suggest an i7 or Ryzen 7 for better longevity. The six-core i5 is already seeing close to 100% utilization in some CPU intensive games.

thank you very much! :)
one other thing . is it true that amd has a problem with windows 10 .?
never tried amd before .
i have an old intel p5ql-pro with a 3g dual core 8400 on hand
worked flawlessly for 9 years but is becoming limited now .

The graphics card will run as long as the PCI Express slots are compatible with it and the computer uses the 64-bit version of Windows 10. It is a good build and can probably run games well at 1440p resolution. 16 GB of RAM allows it to run games like Anthem.
