Metalwell · Jun 10, 2016

Hello guys I have built my latest rig as it follows ;
i7 6700k ( gonna overclock some, I cant help myself ^^)
GTX 1070
Asus ROG Z170 Maximus VIII Hero ( I would like to hear some replacements over this to decrease the cost of whole rig)
Vengeance 16gig rams ddr4 cl14 2400mhz
Sandisk 480gb SSD ( cheap)
Corsair HXi 850W PSU ( I don't know if my system wattage exceeds 850w i dont think so though)
Zalman Z11 Neo Case

I tried to gather everything Top tier as much as I could. I am open to any suggestions, about MOBO and COOLER, I need a Decent cooler to cool that cpu down

thank you

DeepCool Captain series of liquid coolers are good. http://pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/deepcool-cpu-cooler-captain120,deepcool-cpu-cooler-captain240,deepcool-cpu-cooler-captain240white,deepcool-cpu-cooler-captain360/

You have plenty of power in that PSU, it'll last you a while. You could upgrade to the 1080 and not need to replace your PSU.

That Motherboard is indeed unnecessary and a waste of money, take this instead:

and for the cooler: (If your taking it away with overclocking)
http://pcpartpicker.com/product/46tCmG/noctua-cpu-cooler-nhd14

and if you want a 25-35$ cooler pick one of these up:

weberdarren97 :

1080 is way above my budget, and 1070 gives a good price/performance in my opinion. I wanted to have some headroom on my PSU as well, and as the luqiud cooler in my country I can have deep cool maelstorm 120 or 240. And I really never used luqiud cooler before, can you briefly sum me up something about luqid coolers? I would be amazingly appreciated.

EDIT: Also I want some silence on my cooler, I heard that NOCTUA is great about this

thanks for the suggestions! I will change the mobo now.

Decent cooler: cryorig h7
Great cooler: bequiet dark rock pro 3

MB: i wouldn't go for something more expensive than this: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/Q9Gj4D/asus-motherboard-z170a
Though, i am not the sort of person who sweats it if i get a 100Mhz lower overclock than the next. The ROG stuff is overpriced.
That PSU is overkill if you newer intend to SLI. A 650w would do.

I won't be doing SLI. I get that 850w cuz I wanted to have some headroom.

Liquid cooler are more hassle than their worth. They don;t perform much better than similar priced air cooler(like the bequiet! i mentioned) but can be more noisy and their pumps do give in after some time.

Thank you for your input. I will stick with the traditional cooling I guess

I heard that Noctua is good on cooling.

that is way too much headroom. Even when overclocking and in full throttle that system won't pull more than 400W. So even a 550 would do. 650 to have "headroom"(i prefer that myself)

Only the noctua nh-d15 surpasses the dark rock pro 3 in cooling, but the latter is more silent. Plus, The noctua is huge and heavy and can;t fit in any case, plus you risk damaging your board if your move the system around.

Thank you for your input on both cooler and psu, However I am not able to get Dark Rock coolers in my country. I have Corsair, Cooler Master and Akasa avaliable.

Hlsgsz · Jun 10, 2016

No Noctua either? The Noctua NH-D14 would be my second choice.

Metalwell · Jun 10, 2016

Hlsgsz :

I am buying from a retailer, They have all the seperate components and will assemble them, in their disposal I cant see Noctua, However I can get it seperate and install myself. As for Psu, Seasonic X-750 80+Gold 750W , I could not find any 650w tier 1 psu but I have found this one.

Hlsgsz · Jun 10, 2016

Metalwell :

Excellent PSU, install the cooler yourself.

Thank you for your assistance so far. I will get NOCTUA, https://www.technopat.net/sosyal/eklenti/2-jpg.73114/ since it fits into my Zalman Z11 Neo without any problems.
So to clear thing a bit up here is the last status of rig;

Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake 8M 4.0Ghz 1151
Asus Z170-A D4 2133Mhz ATX 1151
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2400MHz CL14 (CMK16GX4M2A2400C14R)
Evga GeForce GTX1070
Sandisk Ultra II 480GB 550/500MB SDSSDHII-480G-G25
Zalman Z11 NEO 700W Mid Towe
Seasonic X-750 80+Gold 750W
NOCTUA NH-D14 Cooler

This is the result, anything can bottleneck here? and what would you do if you had to decrease the cost?

All good. Go for it. And Enjoy!

Outside of a 650w PSU, i wouldn't reduce the cost.
