I would have gone for the H115 for cooling as you're going to need the performance

Do you think if I change now it will take longer?

You can make any amendments, it doesn't affect your place in the queue.

Cool, thank you, so I'm going for the H115 just saw some reviews on that and looks very good

Isn't the H150i better?

 

[Steveyg]

Isn't the H150i better?

It is but it's much larger, also I don't believe the Elite Capellix is available at the minute for the H150i but it is for the H115i which makes it a more attractive option.

The H115i is also very capable

What's the PC for?

 

[arthexz]

What's the PC for?

Streaming, play and also some design stuff

 

[SpyderTracks]

TBH, you'd be far better off with an AMD build, Intel are years behind nowadays and best avoided.

Oh, unfortunately, I'm already on 86 working days waiting, but I think I will be fine the guy that helped me said you will be able to play every game

 

[arthexz]

So should I go for the H150i RGB PRO XT?

 

[SpyderTracks]

No, the h115i cappelix

 

[arthexz]

No, the h115i cappelix

Cool, thank you for the help

You should remove the extra thermal paste, the Corsair CPU coolers will come with their own paste pre applied. PCS would have to remove that then reapply your selected paste and it's just a hassle that can cause unneeded issues.

Also the Silver Warranty is well worth a fiver especially on such a high end system

Hey Steve ! You're right, completely forgot to remove the thermal paste . Cheers for that

 

[Steveyg]

After looking at this thread I made some changes to my build with the processor cooling and with regarding to the thermal paste I'm assuming the standard one would be the one that the Corsair cooler one comes with?

The processor isn't the best on the market wise for gaming and streaming which is the main thing I'll be using this build for would the 850w RMx be fine for somebody who doesn't intend to overclock (as I don't understand it )?

I would change the case mate, the NZXT's look great but are terrible for airflow. I'd personally recommend the Corsair 5000X for the parts listed to give you plenty of room and airflow in the case. Plus it comes with three fans already which is nice.
