New Rig, any recommendation or feedback?

[zann03]

Desktop Motherboard : ASUS H270M-Plus Motherboard
Desktop Processor : Intel® Core™ i7-7700K 4.20 GHz Kaby Lake Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.50 GHz)
CPU Cooling System (Desktop) : Glacier 120 closed loop watercooling
Random Access Memory (RAM) (Desktop) : 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE RED LED 2666mhz (8GB x 2)
GRAPHICS CARD (DESKTOP) : ZOTAC NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX1070 8GB GDDR5
M.2 SSD BAY (Desktop) : 240GB WD M.2 SSD
First Hard Drive (Desktop) : TOSHIBA 2TB 3.5 INCH HDD (Buffer Size 64MB)
Chassis Fans : Standard Chassis Fans

Thats my new build rig, just to check around if this rig is good enough for most mmo games?

If no, what should i be looking at to add on and is my rig gonna be too hot?

Appreciate if anyone could hlp

H mobo, pair with non K processor (i7-7700)
Use stock cooler
2133mhz rams sufficient

If want k processed, get Z mobo (z270), uh IMHO don’t get that crappy AIO, go for cryorig R1 or noctua D14/15

Judging from spec list, you got this from Aftershock, the Hypergate. Should have skipped kaby lake and wait Coffee Lake. Or get an AMD rig from Dreamcore or Typhoon System or custom builder like myself and joshuaho kor kor.

Nothing should be changed from your ordered specs. Coz anything else would be too expensive to consider. Just use as it is. It's good for any and every games out there now.

Wah nb u see spec u know liao ah?

Bloody hell they pair a ***** H mobo to that cpu

Carrot chop gao gao

 

[Krabs.]

Don't get AIO cooler la

 

[kamipify]

it more than good enough

if ts intend to oc get a z270 board ,since u also pay so much liao go get a nvme drive too

This system is good enough to run MMO games. The CPU won't get hot as you can't overclock it with a H270 motherboard. The video card doesn't run very hot as well when at stock speeds. There's no need to add anything for cooling purposes, just use as it is.

As for comments on this build, it's not worth paying extra for a K processor which is unlocked and pair it with a H series motherboard, which doesn't support overclocking. It should be paired with a Z series motherboard for its ability to overclock.

Intel is releasing its 8th generation Coffee Lake CPUs in Oct/Nov, which will have more cores and threads. They will require a different motherboard so it's not worthwhile buying an Intel Kaby Lake CPU now. You should have bought a Ryzen CPU based system.

so he bought already ? .........

they give option let him pick one leh. can opt for ryzen also.
their reccomended cpu is i5 7500 not this carrot

 

[zann03]

Yea thats about right, ordered from em. I can't do much since i alrdy placed ordered, but i still able to change the parts though.

So u guys advice should i go for the oc z270 board or down to non k processor 7700?

 

[joshuaho]

Change parts, able to reduce the price? If so then down to non k cpu and 2133mhz rams

If can’t reduce price, then can consider up to z270 or just leaving it as it is..

Alternatively if they even allow u to go for ryzen 5 it wouldn’t be a bad choice too

If you are interested to overclock the CPU then opt for the Z270 motherboard. If not, then opt for the non K CPU, the 2133MHz RAM and change to an air cooler for the CPU if possible.

 

[zann03]

Ah okok. Eh i dont see any 2133MHz ram, only 2400 and 2666. Is there any diff if i down to non k processor and stick to 2666MHz ram?

If i up to z270, i should hav add more fan in that? Sorry guys, im really not very sure about all the stuffs as u can see frm the choices i made

 

[zann03]

Hahaha cant reduce the price bro. But u can equal or top up =)

Then either change to Z270 motherboard or to Ryzen 7 1700X with the Asus Prime B350M-A motherboard.

 

[singupingu]

Given the specs you got 2 choices:
1) upgrade to Z270 mobo, upgrade to 240mm aio, then overclock your system. This will add about 300 something to overall cost.

2) downgrade to B250M, downgrade to stock cooler, downgrade ram to 2400mhz, downgrade cpu to non-k i7 (or stay also nvm coz of the higher 0.6ghz actually matters quite a bit). This save you 200-300 with the same performance as your current order.

I refer to Aftershock site to make this adjustment fyi

Not recommended. Asus B350-A, though it's a solid board but no heatsink to cool the vrm for handling the 8 core 1700X. I won't get Ryzen from Aftershock unless you specifically ask them indent Asus B350-PLUS.

Thanks bro for the info. That is to say, if I downgraded will have another 200-300. For that amount, what should i add on u reckon?

Given the choice, I will go with option 2 but remain i7-7700K then additional savings pump to bigger capacity ssd.

Cannot change to Ryzen?
