I haven't upgraded for over 4 years but decided to last weekend.
I've also been 'out of the loop' with regards to components for the same time but went for a retail version of the i7 6700K because it was in stock and thought I'd buy a decent cooler once I'd got it up an running only to find that it doesn't come with a HSF!
I was planning on going back to air cooling but this threw a spanner in the works. Do I spend £70-80 on a new GPU block or about the same on a cpu heatsink?
As it was I bought a heatsink for around £50 but that's beside the point.
When/why did this happen?
