Hi,
This is my first computer build.
So far I have,
i5-7600k
Asus rog strix b250h gaming motherboard
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 288-Pin -2400
phanteks red/black p400 case
hyper 212 led cpu cooler
1 tb sata
620 watt seasonic m12 bronze evo power supply
(yes i am going for the red and black theme)
I have a few questions that I was hoping could get answered by those far my experienced then myself.
1. I am doubting my choice on buying the i5-7600k as 1. I do not plan on overclocking (hence the motherboard I bought) and 2. I have started reading that many games coming out recently are performing much much better with hyper threading - i7. Will games most likely from now on require hyper threading to run smoothly and not bottleneck or will my i5-7600 suffice for the next 3-5 years being able to run any game?
2. The phanteks case I bought has the option to mount the fan from the psu downwards or upwards (into the case) - vents either way. What way is better to have the fan facing?
3. What would be a good graphics card that is reasonably future proof? I was thinking msi gtx 1070 gaming x or msi gtx 1060 gaming x. ( I have a 60hz screen, but will probably upgrade in the near future) The reason I am doubtful of the 1060 gaming x is that once again I have read that it is not performing well with newer games.
What got me into doubting what I chose was mostly reading about watch dogs 2 and how i5-7600k fell short and so did gtx 1060 yet both are suppose to be good.
Thanks in advance!
