Enough or too much cooling necessary

Jokerspades · Oct 16, 2013

I have always been a console player and I decided this time to go with building a PC instead of getting the XBOX One or PS4 and I have made a build on pcpartpicker.com and I would like to use this computer to play Battlefield 4 on all ultra settings and have 60 FPS. Does it make sense for me to get the Corsair H100i closed water cooler which I would use in push pull configuration (4 fans) then 6 more fans to cool the PC. Is this good enough to cool my PC or is it too much and If i decided to overclock would it be enough?

In addition should i go for an FX 8350 instead because it cost less and would i get about the same fps with this cpu?

Get Hyper 212 evo or Noctua DH 14 and "Save your money".
8350 is no match for the i7-4770k.

That all makes sense and your build looks quite solid, however for gaming usages only I would suggest dropping down to a 4670k, and if you plan on overclocking your CPU/GPU, I would go for a 750w PSU, from Seasonic, Antec, or Corsair HX/AX line. Honestly you won't notice hardly any difference between the 8350 and 4670k in gaming, MAYBE in the future when games become more multi-threaded the 8350 will pull ahead, but I cannot say for sure.

To sum it all up though, yes that cooling system is perfectly fine for your PC. Plenty for overclocking as well, just refer to my PSU suggestion for overclocking.

No problem, just glad to help a fellow builder!
