Bealin's PC Upgrade Ideas

[Bealin]

Hey All,

 

So I really need to start thinking about upgrading a few parts of my PC that are extremely out-dated, mainly the motherboard, CPU and RAM. Here is my 1st pass at what I might want to get, hit me with your thoughts!

Definitely don't need to spend that much for RAM.  Speeds on RAM provide almost no performance gains.

 

Rest looks good.

I think I do want to get 16GB sticks though, to leave room for expansion at least, so perhaps I will get 1 or 2 sticks to start with........

I was also wondering about the water cooling, does that kit that I picked come with everything I need? Does it need an additional reservoir or anything?

[Cavadus]

Yeah, water coolers like that are self contained units so all you need is thermal paste. For the RAM all that matters is the volume of memory.

Hate to res an old thread but if you haven't bought this pc yet i have a suggestion. If you are doing just gaming or such no video editing or any streaming you can just get the I5 6600k.

I dont know where you found such expensive components you might have a different conversion rate. Here's my suggestion for 550 total.

Bealin is in Canada and those prices are likely CAD.

I already purchased my upgrades, got them cheaper than listed previously, from a different online Canadian retailer (Newegg) and I must say....she be blazing fast!
