Yeah, I don't see why not if you won't burn anything. But I'd just pay the few dollars more though in case you decide to, but It's up to you.

 

[vollman1]

The low profile just fits better. Performance should be a bit better also; its rated at 1600 9-9-9-24 instead of 1333 9-9-9-27.

 

[C0MMANDO]

is this all that I should change? replace the RAM sticks.
are all the parts compatible with each other?

 

[vollman1]

Well...

Also, the price of your cpu cooler and the paste is about $43

An H60 is only $60 and comes with pre applied paste (good quality)

this means that for $17 bucks more your temps will be 5-10'C cooler (better OC performance) and you will almost definitely have an easier time installing the H60 than the air cooler.

I use the H100 and would recommend the H60or the H80. But if you need that $17 air is a better value in terms of cost per degree cooled.

 

[C0MMANDO]

okay, i will get the H60, is there anything else i should change?

 

[vollman1]

I forgot to ask: are you close to a Micro Center by any chance? You can save serious bucks.

 

[C0MMANDO]

nope D:

 

[vollman1]

Ahh well. I can't see any problems with your build. I prefer Asus boards personally (better OCing usually) but many people are going with the Asrock.

Can I ask, did you have any specific reasons for choosing your board?

 

[C0MMANDO]

Wow, a gaming system for $684.89

Well i done alot of research and alot of people are saying the z68 or the P67, so i chose the z68 because has cooling

 

[vollman1]

p67 or z68 are good choices. I was wondering about the brand and deluxe model. Did the ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 have specific features that you liked? Or price?

Edited: not deluxe lol

 

[C0MMANDO]

many people are recommending this board to go with the 2500k processor

 

[vollman1]

If it is a budget issue, go with it. Its a good price.

 

[C0MMANDO]

i miscalculated the budget >.<

can the water cooling wait?or does the 2500k rly need it?I'm not OCing or anything yet

 

[clarkjd]

If you are NOT overclocking, the stock cooler & HSF that comes with the 2500k is quite sufficient for cooling.

 

[vollman1]

^+1

Stock cooler is fine if you are not OCing. But then downgrade your CPU to the i5 2400 also ("k" means unlocked for OCing)

I think he wants to overclock, He just can't afford an aftermarket cooler at this time.

 

[vollman1]

ahh just saw that hehe

You can easily add a cooler later.
