Motherboard comparison and what wattage modular PSU
- Thread starter noxinum
- Start date
Go for the z170 version motherboard.The H version of motherboard are not meant for overclocking CPU and i5 6600k is a overclockable cpu.
PSU is your choice.I would suggest getting a 650watt PSU at minimum with a bronze certification(Seasonic should be good) .Modular PSU is good if you have cramped up space in your case

If yours is a good quality psu and you don't mind it being not modular is 550watt more than enough for the parts you look at since not going for sli.
Just check which one and ask here for if it's a good one or look in the next thread at the tiers,

if from tiers 1 or 2 are you certainly fine.

It's a 550w 80plus bronze PSU, https://www.google.lu/search?q=ts+xfx+550w&rlz=1CDGOYI_enPT699PT699&hl=en-GB&prmd=ivsn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwji9Zjz85jPAhXrAMAKHegTAJgQ_AUIBygB&biw=320&bih=492#imgrc=4mqUIzfHYXwh8M%3A , that one, and since I was thinking on overclocking, I wanted to buy a water cooler with radiator for the CPU, does that mean I will need more wattage?

If you don't mind it being not modular is that a fine psu and could you just keep on using it. The watercooler isn't going to change that much in powerdraw,so it's still fine with that added.
Make sure your case can house the watercooler.

Looking at the ones that were suggested, they all look epic, but the 430€ one is too much hahah
