New system Build (Compatibility & budget issue)

ravi_shankar · Jun 22, 2017

Guys I am upgrading from an almost six year old i5 2500k to i7 7700k & therefore have to upgrade my MOBO, RAM etc & get a new after market cooler as well.

Here is my list in pc part picker:
https://in.pcpartpicker.com/list/bLYV9W

1) Kindly clarify whether the corsair lpx 16 GB x2 (url=https://www.newegg.com/global/in/Product/Product.aspx?I...][/url]) is compatible with asus maximus ix hero motherboard (I am unable to find the memory QVL in their website)

2) Is the cooler master g750m too much wattage.

3) Any way i can shave some money off (I am buying high speed RAM for extra FPS in overwatch else i would stick to 2400mhz or 3000 max)

4) If sufficient airflow will be available with kendomen mid tower or switch to full tower

5) Is the noctua u14s sufficient beacuse I am only going to try for mild overclocking with the 7700k and considering its already high default clock speed.

6) Thanks in advance for your advice

P.S : sry for not adding link

You didn't link the list.

Usually Corsair Vengeance Ram is compatible with the Asus Maximus board.

750W is too much for any single GPU setup, the unit you've selected is low grade however

Please provide the full pcpp link, I'll take a look at it

You didn't post your part picker permalink.
Sounds like it can be improved greatly.

@ Isokolon : Thanks, I updated the link. Can u give me a list of PSU around 50-100$ ideal for my needs.

@Chugalug : Updated the link. Sry abt that

Cooler is solid, mobo is overpriced, case is alright.
Would you prefer a more aesthetically pleasing case?
It's good for airflow but looks quite chunky and can be annoying in use.

These are the best buys for you.

PSU: https://www.mdcomputers.in/smps/antec-650-watt-80-plus-gold-semi-modular-ea650g-pro.html

I hate MD Computers' PSU selection, 90% of the decent stuff isn't in stock, had to pay more than needed for a decent unit.

The reason why I got the deepcool kendomen was for making sure i have room for cooler clearance with the noctua u14s or d15s along with RAM clearance incase i switch to a trident z (Although am going for corsair vengeance lpx to avoid clearance issues). Considering that along with the fact that it comes with 5 fans dust filters for Rs. 5000/- when i initially wanted to but the phanteks enthoo but the cost in india is around 15000+ I must say I would rather stick to the kendomen case.

Those hyper x RAM's are really cheap. Thanks i will look into it. Any other recommendations.

Also I would prefer to buy from amazon or newegg although amazon is just overpriced most of the times.(Really greedy)

Chugalug_ · Jun 22, 2017

That's perfectly fine.

Nah, everything else is set.
Amazon is way overpriced, MD Computers or Prime ABGB always for India.
Newegg and Amazon slug you for import taxes.
See if you can find that cooler on MD Computers or Prime ABGB cheaper.
