Hello,
I am upgrading my gpu from 280x to 1060 and also wanted to change my current stock cpu cooler into some custom, more appropriate and quiet (cpu is i5 4690k if relevant). And here I face 2 challenges:
1) I have no idea which cooler would suit me the best.
2) I have never changed coolers so i do not know 2.1) which thermal paste would be appropriate to purchase and 2.2) if I should and if so - what should I use to remove the old cooling paste from the stock cooler.
Hopefully my issues are clear enough, any guidance appreciated!

ull, while single fan hovers around 70C up to 75C at times (depends if you control fans at quiet settings).
