Is this a good setup? (When looking at compatibility and bottlenecks)

Benji Naesen · Jun 30, 2015

Dear,

I have to make a set-up for a friend of mine and I tried something. I have no real knowledge of bottlenecks and compatibility so I would ask if a pro takes a look at this.
Thanks in advance for taking a look.

Looks good, but why do you need a CPU cooler, if he is overclocking than yes, but if not, you dont need to get an aftermarket CPU cooler, the stock cool will be just fine. Then you can put the money saved towards other components.

celtic_warrior99 :

if you've got an overclockable chip, why would you not overclock it. plus at a gtx 970 he doesn't really need to save money.

OP, i reworked your build a bit:

it should come around to 1240 euros. so you could get a 250GB SSD (samsung 850 evo is the way to go) or you could have a different case. but its a solid build (and a red themed build)
