Shudsy Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 if you're going for that cpu cooler and a msi card i really hope you're planning on overclocking both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might further explains more. http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-1060-vs-GeForce-GTX-1050-Ti To cut down, you do not really need a 750w PSU as a 650w is more than enough. 16gb ram is fine. Usually I would just need a ssd for quicker access of files and boot time. Therefore I went with a smaller sized ssd and a hdd for storage. I removed the 1050 ti if you look one post above, the 650w and 750w is about 10-10$ difference, shouldnt be an issue to buy it. but if there is, and ill switch to 650w. 2 minutes ago, Shudsy said: if you're going for that cpu cooler and a msi card i really hope you're planning on overclocking both dont think I dare to, if i now buy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Actually 750w is overkill, 650w is just right (even if you overclock both cpu & gpu) Unless you have plans to upgrade to a high end gpu, running sli or do crazy overclocking, 750w would be the one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydartt Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I have the 6500k, with a hyper 212 evo. I have not even tried or needed to over clock the cpu, i get 300 fps on csgo which is obviously plenty. I also have 2 GTX 770's in SLI which are power hungry AF, and have a 750 W power supply. dont skimp on the power supply, but I have cheap ass 30$ 8 gb of ram. I also only have a 256 gb SSD and still havent used it fully after over 6 months. Hope that gives you insight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're buying a cpu fan that is literally the definition of a cheap overclocking fan. You're just wasting money if you don't do it. You can easily buy something like a I5-4690k and OC it to 4.5 ghz and it'll beat a non OC'd I7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can easily buy something like a I5-4690k and OC it to 4.5 ghz and it'll beat a non OC'd I7 well first off, i have a DDR 4 setup so i believe i couldn't use a 4690k if im not mistaken, and I don't want to void the warranty, and I can get extra performance out of the cpu at the end of its lifespan if i wait. I don't really have any reason to OC now since I only play H1, csgo and rs atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kintaro Oe Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 i would spend around $1,000 to get a decent build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
