Just wondering if I'll need to buy a CPU cooler for this build. I do not intend on overclocking.

CPU-Intel i5-4430 3.0 GHz Quad Core

Motherboard-Gigabyte G1.Sniper B5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

RAM- G.Skill AEGIS 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Hardrive- Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Graphics card- Gigabyte Radeon R7 260X 1GB Video Card

Case- Corsair 300R ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply- Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Optimal Drive- TBD, I dont know If I want one.


Also, is there anything else I might need in order for this computer to function, in terms of hardware other than mouse, keyboard.

You can't overclock that cpu anyway. So the stock cooler that comes with the cpu will be fine.

You build seems OK. Maybe the power supply is a bit big for a 260x.

Optical disk drives are optional these days. You can install Windows on a USB stick by downloading their ISO file ont it..

Get one if you want to rip tracks or burn movies etc
