So I posted on here a few days ago with my build, and since then I have taken you guy's suggestions and changed some things. So this is the new part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fvyCf7
My laptop can only run Ark: Survival Evolved in the lowest settings possible, so I'm trying to build something that can run it and most other games on High graphics.
A few questions:
1) So I am getting this compatibility error, but I'm not entirely sure what it's talking about. Do I need to change my RAM?
2) I hate the look of the stock CPU cooler and was looking for a cheap (~$60) water cooling setup. I was thinking maybe the Corsair H55 Quiet 120 MM? My eventual goal is to buy the EKWB kit before I do overclocking, however I don't have the money right now. So what do you guys suggest for a cheap water cooling setup? I'd love if it had clear tubing
I should also put out that I could go with a normal cooler, but I want something aesthetically pleasing, and it looks like most CPU coolers will block out that bright blue motherboard I'm buying.
3) Any other suggestions in general???
Thanks!
