Good morning. Any help or comments will be appreciated.


CPU + Motherboard,

- i7-7700k + Gigabyte GA-Z270-HD3P

RAM, not sure which is better?

- Corsair Vengeance LPX 2800 32GB
- Kingston HyperX Fury 2666 32GB

GPU - MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8GB

SSD - Samsung Pro 850 256GB

PSU - any recommendation?

CPU + GPU closed-loop liquid cooler - any recommendation?

How much is the Thermal Pasting for CPU usually?

Can I slot in my own Creative soundcard in the motherboard I've chosen?


Thanks a lot!

Hey bro, thanks for replying.

Budget below $2.5k, havent done OC in the past decade and willing to play a bit OR NOT.

The PC is for daily use, movie, gaming... tho I don't play graphic intense 3D games often, but I saw - The Honor seems quite fun?

I am not sure whether the soundcard is PCI or PCIe, the model is SB-0610, the connecting to motherboard part is the long one.

The honor not so graphic intensive. here is their system requirement:

next will be needing monitor, speaker and kb as well? or just the pc itself?

next your soundcard is a PCI slots, so the board u want it does support on the last 2 rows.

Thanks again for the clarification of my sound card.

I just bought Samsung CF390 27 inch from courts like 1 hour ago, should be fine? Speaker wise, I am not too concerned. what is kb please?

My main concern now is about the close-loop liquid cooling for the CPU and GPU...

For the closed loop are you thinking of those custom loops you see?
else i dont think theres a AIO that loops gpu + cpu.. only 1 for cpu 1 for gpu


if u wan a custom closed loop system i think u head to aftershock take a look.. but im not sure whether their pricing is decent anot :s13: too hard to someone new to do a custom closed loop on their own


PSU wise would be to go for brands like seasonic / superflower / evga with 600w~ 80+ silver should be plenty good

You don't need 32gb for ram.
