I've been a long-time reader here at Tom's, and I'm just wanting to complete my third build. In the past I have bought barebones kits and CPUs that came with stock coolers. I'm starting from scratch on this one, and I'm not sure what coolers are compatible, or what cases all of my components will fit in.
This is going to be a gaming build (if you can't tell from my GTX 1060 choice), but I don't plan on doing any serious overclocking. So I don't need to break the bank on the cooler, just need something that will keep my i5-6600K cool. Fan noise is no concern at all to me either, only price.
So in summary, I would like some recommendations on CPU coolers, cases, and possibly case fans that will be compatible with the rest of my build:
Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GAMING Video Card
G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power
I'm also open to suggestions to tweaks on any of my other components, and I appreciate any advice. Thank you!
