Will this gaming system perform well?

[berk_sado]

Hello folks, I built a new gaming rig but did not buy some of its parts yet so I have some questions about it.

CPU: Intel i5 8600K
GPU: MSI GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X Edition
RAM: 2x8 Corsair Vengeance 3000Mhz CL15 DDR4
Motherboard: MSI Z370-A Pro 4000+Mhz O.C. DDR4
Case: Gigabyte Sumo Y
PSU: Cougar STX 650 W 80+Bronze
OS: Windows 10

1-)Should I buy a liquid cooling system for my CPU? No render. I mostly play World of Warcraft and will play Battlefield 5 soon. My case has 5x 120mm fans and 1x 200mm fan.
2-)I will boost rams to 3k Mhz with XMP, this motherboard can handle it well?

Thank you for all replies.

No, you don't NEED and AIO, a good air cooler like this will be good.

If you haven't got the MB yet I would get a higher end model.


That PSU isn't good either, a higher quality PSU like this would be MUCH BETTER.

1) I would recommend a good air cooler. Maybe the cryorig H7 or something. If you plan on doing some heavy overclocking then maybe look into a big air cooler like the NH-D15 or a good 240mm or larger water cooler. If you do plan to overclock the cpu I would recommend a better mobo. That thing has a weak VRM 4+2 phase looks like.

2) Yeah should be fine.

That power supply is not really good at all. I would recommend something of higher quality for a system like that.

That case is very old and a little ridiculous IMO, if you don't already own it I would recommend something else

@jankerson
Didn't buy the MB yet so I came up with this instead, is it enough:
https://www.hepsiburada.com/asus-tuf-z370-plus-gaming-lga1151-z370-anakart-p-HBV000009ZYNW
And is 550Watt psu enough for a 1060?

@Dunlop0078
Okay I will buy a good air cooler since I won't overclock this cpu now.
I mostly get recommendations of shiny cases but I don't want it to be heated up. Feel free to recommend btw

Yes the 550W I recommended will be more than good for a GTX 1060 and your system.

The ASUS MB is a good one.

Typically you can run a 1080gtx off a 550watt quality PSU. You will be fine with that Seasonic.

 

[geofelt]

What parts have you already bought?

The case specs are silent on how much height is available for an air cooler.
Measure it.
Because of the case width, I expect at least 160mm is available.

A noctua NH-D15s will cool as well or better than any aio cooler in your case.
It will be quieter while doing so and will not leak.

Any Z370 based motherboard is fine and will let you use 3000 speed ram using xmp settings.
3000 speed is good, intel is not sensitive to ram speeds.

A 650w psu is good, it will permit a future graphics card as good as a GTX1080ti.
Cougar is of middling quality.
I would look at a Seasonic focus gold in 550 or 650w.

Thanks for all the responses,

@geofelt I bought CPU,Ram,GPU and I forgot to note that I have Samsung Evo 850 250GB ssd in hand.
that case is so big for a mid tower case, my brother has it thats why I wrote it on list


@bmockeg & @jankerson
Thanks for advice, I will order that one and the motherboard I sent (Asus Tuf)

If you're going to dish out the big bucks on an air cooler like the NH-D15s, you might as well spend the extra $20 on the AIO Corsair H110i, H100 Hydro Series. Youll be able to run your fans in silent mode with great temps vs having a huge air cooler that will probably just block your ram sticks.

Thank you for all replies.

1.- it's because it's liquid cooling doesn't mean it performs better at all, it really comes down to what model you use

with that out of the way I'd say a $30 dollar cooler will do the job spending more makes little sense

getting an 8600K makes little sense already I mean you spend so much on cpu, ram, motherboard and cooling for something that's only 6 cores and 6 threads.

It isn't bad at all but if you can afford all that you can drop $100 and get an 8700K the extra threads will make a hunge difference in the long term even with more basic components that cpu makes more sense or you can go ryzen

Something like getting a ryzen 1600 or 2600 with a cheap B350 board and a better GPU that is what I would do


2.- That depends on the specific RAM modules themselves, thankfully Intel cpus are very good in therms of RAM support but I encourage to check QVL lists from the RAM or motherboard manufacturers

BTW I DON'T KNOW IF THAT PSU IS GOOD QUALITY, MAKE SURE IT IS

You don't want to pair a high end build with cheapo power supply

Well not everyone wants the LOW 1080p gaming FPS that ryzen offers. the i5 8600k is a great price to performance ratio offering very similar FPS to the 8700k while allowing you to save $100. If one is not planning on doing content creation, the 8700k is not needed for gaming.

The Corsair H100, H110i Liquid Cooling systems currently offer top 5 and arguably the best cooling on the market.

I get that, but if you are the guy that wants as many FPS as possible you would probably want the 8700K because the 8600K is not going to mantain those super high FPS over time

Some games are already using more than 6 threads so I think the 8600K is barely enough to be identical to the 8700K in games, but it won't last too long

If it was maximum FPS he was looking for, then he wouldn't even be running a GTX 1060. He would be on a 1080 TI.

Keep in mind also. THE GTX 1060 is a 1080p card, with its own performance limitations. The i5 8600k is capable of achieving the maximum FPS the GTX 1060 has to offer. Unless he had a 1080 TI, the 8700k wouldn't pull ahead.
