I'm building a second PC soley to stream and game on.

A 2600X or 2700 can now be bought for almost the same money, but which should I choose?

I had a feeling this would be the case, would a Hyper 212 Black Edition be fine to cool it?

Ive got a 2700 clocked at 4ghz and it doesnt go over 60*c with a arctic esports one cooler. Which is similar to a hyper 212 (or even not as good.)

Easy to clock it up to 4GHz?

not hard at all, my biggest problem was (and still is) this motherboard doesnt seem to have good voltage control. I only seem to be able to get the vcore to 1.288.

As you may have seen with ryzen reviews, dont cheap out on the ram either.

I bought Team Group Night Hawk 3200MHz 16GB kit earlier today, should be fine.

Although I've gone for an ITX system (H200) and not looking to cheap out on the board either.

What board are you running?
 
I took the plunge and purchased the 2700 whilst it was going new for cheap, really cheap!

Got my eye on the Asus Strix B450 ITX model, apparently uses the same VRM as it's X470 brothers.

So hopefullygain a small OC out of it.
