2 thermal paste tubes???

No need for the i7. Go for Skylake i5.

Welcome to the dark side.

About PC: 2 Thermal paste? EVO 212 already comes with a nice thermal paste. At today, in the market are new CPU skylake, but CPU choosed is still fine.

Everything else, is fine.

sorry that was a mistake id only buy one, iv heard the i7 is easier to OC which would be better for certain games
thank you for the input tho

You can go for skylake, like i5 6600k or an i7 6th generation, but see if you can affort it, because its expensive.

Wow... The dark side... xDDD
At most a single Arctic Freezer 5 would be fine.

Fireteam175 :

i7's good for 2K and 4K, but just not right now.

thanks for the help, like iv explained the thermal paste was a mistake, i think il stick with the i7 4790k, as my build has a theme of white and black that matches my room theme, if i find another MOBO that will match the theme i will change over to the i5 6600k skylake, or upgrade to a i7 6700k skylake

once again thank you for the help

Are you searching something like black-white mobo? Check Asus Z170-A, Asus Z170-DELUXE.

212 evo might not be enough of planning to oc. Even if not, go for cryorig h7. Apparently is better cooling than 212 evo for similar price. If planning to oc, go for an AIO like the corsair h100i or nzxt kraken, or a big heatsink like the nh-d15 or nh-d14.
