Thanks for the info so far! I have another question, If I were to get the 1070 instead, will I need to get another PSU instead of the one listed here? Don't mind eat grass longer for better performance.
Building my first build so pardon the noob questions :s22:

how about...

i5 6500 + MSI B150M Bazooka Plus - $431
GSkill 2400Mhz 8gb - $55
Palit GTX 1060 Dual 3gb - $259 (after 10% discount)
Superflower Leadex 550W - $107 (after 10% discount)

Total: $852

The balance, you get casing you fancy..

Nah dun need to buy a another PSU, the listed one is more than enough if u dun intend to OC.

Next for pricing u can consider palit GTX 1070 dual @555.

My personal opinion, is to use stock Intel cooler provided. No need to spend the USD26.50 on the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. It's your preference but personally I don't see the need to spend the extra money just to shave of a few degrees, as you won't be overclocking.

stock cooler will circulate some air to the parts around motherboard (healthy) , while the tower cooler airflow bypass that (unhealthy)

the other part is noise ... the tower cooler have more surface area and bigger fan , potentially can run at lower fanspeed to achieve equivalent temperature ... thus lower noise


or he need the $27 USD to help reach 125 for free shipping

The current intel heat sink clicks at low RPM. It is audible in a fairly quiet environment.

Maybe AMDK run at 100% :crazy:. Just a mild click but nothing too distracting as long as you don't pay attention to the noise
