Dear all,

Its for purely gaming, hopefully to be able to play some future mmorpg games.
Currently playing only dota2 and FM2016 or CS Go.
It will be a new rig, please ignore my current PC specs ---->

I would like seek for advise/recommendation from any experts for the below setup (after some research):
1) i5 6500 + Asus H170 Pro gaming
2) Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz
3) EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 80 Plus Gold Rated (do i need 650w?)
4) Samsung 850 EVO - 500GB
5) MSI Radeon RX 480 8G (waiting for it to launch)
6) Casing - not yet decided but maybe will walk around simlim to see
7) Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler (do i need this?)
8) DVD - i dont think i need this

Thanks in advance !! :s12:

Ram change to Normal valueram, unless u going for looks.
PSU if u have order already den so be it, otherwise just get superflower ledex sliver 550w
cpu cooler not required unless u want a bit of silences.

Thanks for the advice
nothing has been ordered yet as I cant make up my mind between i5-6600k + z170 or i5-6500 + H170
Feel like trying with OC for the first time since everyone seems to be enjoying playing with it..:s22:

If you want to try oc, need better coolers, but 212 evo can support a bit of oc.

oc is fun if you find your optimum settings but got chance to damage cpu :s8:
