Yes which is in this case what TS has chosen in his #1 post? No?

Skylake with a 1070....

This 2 dont even eat up to 300w range. Despite even ocing the GPU lol.

While on the other hand he can also look into 600w region, if the price gap isnt far apart.
Just saying and directed to TS la lol....

Sorry if never made clear....

For plug not an issue as adapter is easily available.
The main concern is if the voltage is unusable and required a transformer.
From PSU rating, I've seen 110V - 240V. Anyone who had made a purchase can confirm?
Most modern PSUs come with auto voltage switch instead of relying on a manual switch during Pentium 4 era...

As long as you see 110~240V means can use here out of the box. No need to change cable too....
Passive adapter will do...

Does purchasing the chip set comes with a stock cooler?

Also what AIO would your guys recommend?

base on the chip u buying, yes it does. but K series need to buy a 3rd party cooler.

heard a lot of people using corsair H100 like damn good. but if have more budget can consider cyroig A40.

You aren't overclocking, dunnid spend such cash on these coolers.
Even stock cooler will do.

If you aren't satisfied with stock cooler, can just get a Cryorig M9i.
Offers great cooling performance for low cost.

Thank you all for the input on the AIO.
My room has poor ventilation and kinda stuffy most of the time.
Hence a little concern about cooling effect.

Aesthetics aside, which case is better? I roomy inside for working and able to add on parts later. Size doesnt matter.

Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Temper Glass
Corsair 780T (Any idea is the window temper glass?)

If the GPU states dual slot means what?
If GPU is 12inches length, is consider big and may need bigger casing?

dual slots means 2 pcie expansion slots. most casing can fit up to 350mm gpu, so that means so long u get a mid tower or any atx with this measaurement, u are safe.

air or liquid cool doesn't matter or change the problem ..... if the cpu burns 70watt .... then that 70+watt of heat will be generated by the CPU and other components , slowly and continuously expelled out of the computer casing and circulated in your room

using liquid cooler doesn't solve the problem

Guess have to ventilate my room better and maybe adding 1 more fan in the case then.

Operating System - Window 10 (Reddit) (I presume this is legit?)

Is this reusable, meaning if I reformat my rig, can I reinstall it?

i still find that for aesthetics is like Planteks Enthoo series TG type.

INWIN can be consider as well.

NZXT H440 or S340 are nice looking case.

Lastly : Corsair Crystal 460X

780T no TG.
