My new ulgrades

[Zairs]

Have just ordered my new upgrades!
Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 motherboard, B grade
I5 6600k CPU
And 4x4gb 2800mhz ddr4 ram

Should keep me going for another 6 years like my current setup!

I'm currently using a gtx 460 GPU after my last one died, how does the on board graphics compare to this. (Will be upgrading when the next gen arrive)
Am I right in thinking that the b grade board will still be covered by the manufacturer warranty after the 90 days?

This is the ram I've order, can't find a size for it, anyone know if they will fit with my cooler
predator 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-21300C13 2666MHz Quad Channel Kit

Apparently that RAM is 55.25mm high so i would say it's not going to work with that cooler.

Not sure what to do now, change the cooler or alter the heatsinks of the ram, not changing the ram as they were very cheap

Get an aio cooler like theses which will fit on your side panel of your case but mite be a bit fidely when you need to get access.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Antec H600 Kuhler 120mm AIO Liquid Cooler= £39.95
• 1 x Antec H1200 Kuhler 240mm AIO Liquid Cooler= £59.99

Just noticed I could upgrade to the i7 6700k for £80 on a bundle deal, would it be worth it?

X99+5820K > 6700K+Z170.

Any reason why? Would need another £40 on top of the £80, and won't use the DDR4 I've bought
