Budget Custom Build!

Hm, have asked Amazon how long its been used for and if theirs still a waranty in place.

 

[ThrashZone]

That's a dang good idea
Used stuff is cheap for a reason.

 

[Dimerz]

They said they dont have that type of information and unless it states that it has the manufacturers warrant, it doesn't. Ill just buy the new one for £5 more.

 

[ThrashZone]

Yea considering much more expensive stuff connects to the psu
Getting a new one is best

Good decision

Hello again, Im back.

Right, considering ive got more money and have a stable income ive upgraded to a i5 6600K cooling it with the hyper 212 evo. Ive changed my board to Asus Z170 Gaming Pro and have a few questions to ask:

With my motherboard how many fans can i power through it as my case has 5?
Im wondering if i can have a 3 monitor set up when I get my GTX 980 or GTX 970?
I will also probably have to change my 600W Corsair PSU to something more reliable
Im considering getting this PSU

Hi,
I'd probably go for a 750 or 850 but at least it's a evga G2 series

980's are good for 4 displays or at least that is what they say in spec's
970's ?
Probably are good for at least 3 ?
You have to link use to the exact cards to really know.

Is that the PSU?
And what about the other questions?

 

[Dimerz]

Ill get the 850W, it will cost a bit more but i will save having to buy another PSU when i need more power.

Hi,
Fans wise I don't know you just have to look at the spec's for the board as to how many fans it will have separate ports for
You can always use a fan hub/ splitter if you need a couple more connections.

I'd make sure the cpu cooler specifies z170/ skylake compatible.

I've read and there have been some issues with the cpu's being made with thinner covers so they are easily bent = that does not sound good

 

[Dimerz]

Looks like could be just some faulty ones? From my research I gathered that my case will fit the 212 EVO and it's compatible with the mobo. Here are some links:

Skylake CPUs bending under heavy fans, liquid cooler advice? [Solved] - CPUs

 

[ThrashZone]

Intel Skylake CPUs are bending under the pressure of some coolers | PC Gamer

 

[Dimerz]

See things like this annoy me lol. Not alot of people experiencing this issue and "I read that article and stopped the moment they said they used an electric screwdriver. I thought it was common sense to manually do those screws so you can actually feel the tension behind them and if you are starting to go to far." Exactly what I thought. So it's hard to call. What other cooler could I use, I mean my case supports water cooling but I dont really want to spend 100's for a water cooler D:

Hi,
Just so the cooler being used specifies compatibility go for it,
But liquid is

I do agree, the H100i is tempting.

 

[ThrashZone]

Well worth it just in saved space and looks
Heck I would of put one on my acer if there was a good one for 775 socket.

 

[Dimerz]

Grr. your tempting me. But that means more money and more waiting.

 

[ThrashZone]

Less money really if you don't waste it on a inferior cooler
Time is well worth the wait doing it right

Not even going to risk the bending chip and waste £200. Lol this build will defo be a £1000 build.
