Hi Everyone,
Currently have a 1080 GTX + 2500k and looking to upgrade.
Looking at the below but I'm quite confused on the following:
1) Is that a good Mobo choice? Suspect I'm off the mark on this one
2) 3600 mhz vs 3200 mhz ram - am i wasting money?
3) Do I need an aftermarket CPU cooler these days?
4) Is there much headroom on these past their boost OC? Happy to OC, but not sure if it's worth it anymore.
5) I need to replace some 140mm fans - Have i overdone it?
Worth noting I'm looking to play star citizen on this PC. Monitor is 2560 x 1440, but the GPU might result in dropping to 1080p perhaps.
