Alright so I'm going to be buying a new computer, budget isn't necessarily a problem, although I'm trying to avoid overspending where possible. So far, the build I have in mind is -


CASE: Corsair Crystal Series® 460X
CPU: Intel i7-7700K
HDD/SSD: 240GB WD Green SSD + 1TB SATA III
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-Z270X-ULTRA GAMING
GPU: EVGA GeForce® GTX 1080 SC2 iCX Gaming 8GB GDDR5X
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H60 120mm
RAM: ADATA XPG Z1 8GBx2 3000 MHz DDR4
POWERSUPPLY: EVGA 850W GQ Gold


I know this build should run extremely well, though not sure about the RAM. I never heard of this company, but I chose that because it was a free upgrade from 2400 to the 3000 MHz for it so I thought I might as well. If the RAM isn't great, please let me know. Also, not sure about the cpu cooler as well because I've never dealt with liquid coolers or really any CPU cooling besides stock tbh. Next, if anyone knows any other parts that would be better than ones I listed, or any that are cheaper with around the same performance, that would also be great.

Thanks in advance!

That ram is ok but there should be ram from kingston, g.skill, corsair in the same price range.

i would go for a corsair h100i or a h110i as a h60 will not cool the cpu enough.

There are cheaper options for normal air coolers but i myself like aio or custom loops because there are more quiet since you dont need the fans to spin that hard for good cooling.

I myself have a h100i with a i7-6700k cpu oc to 4,5 ghz and on 100% load i never go over 60 degrees and the fan profile is only 60%
