So I am building a brand new gaming pc and wanted to see what people may say about this build and how well it would run, not being overclocked. Would water cooling work better then a fan most likely for this build if I were to be overclocking, if so what type of water cooling system/fan would work. What are some speeds you guys overclock at? Do you guys have any other suggestions?

Umm 7200/5400 RPM (revolutions per minute) is in regards to the speed of the physical disc's spinning in a Hard Disc Drive. An SSD has no spinning disc's, needs no RPM, it's basically just ram in a container. No moving parts.

The TT Smart series isn't that good. Tough yes, smart no.

I'd suggest a few changes

1. Get a 7200 rpm HDD
2. Your PSU is a little overkill. Won't hurt anything, but you could EASILY get by with a 450-550W range PSU
3. Instead of considering an additional $100+ on CPU cooling / overclocking, see if you can bump your GPU up to a 1060 maybe? The priority is GPU over CPU for the build you're looking at.

# 1 & #3 might be a smart idea to do. My PSU is a 750W because it was $10 more that the 550W that I was going to get and thought that a 750W would leave me room for upgrades and stuff.

So I checked and a 7200 RPM HDD would be slower than the 5400 RPM SSD that I have selected.

I clicked the wrong hard drive!!! I am so sorry, you are completely right about that i meant to get a 5400 RPM SSD. You are right with what I have on there a 7200 would be better.
