Geez they're both vastly overpriced. A B150 motherboard should be in the $50-70 range. $299 is too much for a GTX1060 too.

The water cooler is a waste of $79 too

NickMazzy20 · Sep 10, 2016

CTurbo :

thank you, and what water cooler do you say is good?

CTurbo · Sep 10, 2016

You just simply don't need a water cooler. The i7's stock cooler is more than good enough.

CTurbo :

Ok thank you so much, and all cpu's come with stock coolers?

CTurbo · Sep 10, 2016

Yes unless they say "oem/tray"
