Gaming PC check

[askid]

Hello. So i need new pc for wow, cs go and probably some new games. My knowledge is not up to date so i would like to get some hints.

I want to oc cpu little bit so this cooler will be enough?
it's worth investing in faster ram?
Do i need extra fans for this case?
This 1080 or maybe https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus-geforce-gtx-1080-directcu-iii-strix-oc-gaming-aura-rgb-8192mb-gddr5x-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-401-as.html
m2 for os and second for games. i`ll use old hdd for other data.

Budget 1.5-2k but if its not significant increase in fps i would prefer to keep it closer to 1500

In case you get around to streaming/recording/editing, an i7 is a lot handier to have than expensive SSD models, which are wasted on a gaming system. Plus some games can strain 4 cores. You're spending a nice budget and seems a pity to miss out on i7 when it can fit and make an even more ideal companion to a GTX 1080.

The NZXT H440 is a nice looking case but also a hot box which some owners tired of and changed. The Noctis has an NZXT look and better cooling for not much more. Just a suggestion.

Power supply colour doesn't matter as it goes under the PSU shroud. The Antec H1200 is a great cooler. Two premium red led fans to replace the stock blue led fans.

To answer your question about RAM. No, 3000/3200 is around what most of these Skylake CPUs/motherboards can handle.

I wont use it for anything like that for sure I was thinking about i7 but i read its not worth it for gaming. I plan to change i5 in 1 or 2 years, when dx12 will be more use.

Good to know. Noctis is too futuristic for me. I like it simple.
