Hey everyone! Hope you are all well, I'll cut straight to the chase. Built the below and am interested in your general opinion about the build. Do you reckon it'll be able to run all (if not all most) games on ultra for the next couple of years? I went for the new i5 instead of the i7 cos I don't think I'll need that much power for gaming or the extra 2 cores cos I don't do any rendering or anything else that requires extra cores/threading, but you'll never know what developers will come up with. Decided to save some money on both drives. I'll get an external HDD when I start running out of space. My personal concerns are:
1. Is the power supply ok? What's the benefit of going for the bronze/silver/gold ones, worth it?
2. is the H55 cooling going to be sufficient? I want an ultra quite one and was between this and the Noctua NH-U14S
3. I plan on running one 4k monitor and one Full HD, preferably with G-Sync. If you have any suggestions for such gear that won't break the bank please let me know.
4. If I decide to run and stream a game off this processor, you reckon it will cope?
That's pretty much it, just after general opinions about the whole build. Games I play at the moment are the new Forza Horizon 4 and AC Odyssey.
