Jure Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I've build pretty much the same PC few months ago, just with better memory, SSD and motherboard. I'm really satisfied with it. This should last us a few years. :) Quote
Shebi3 Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 This should last us a few years. It will indeed. Especially if maintenance is kept up on. Mine is running great. Diablo 3 and WoW on Ultra at 80 FPS? I think so. :D :D Quote
reepicheep Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Seems like a pretty good build to me. Any particular reason you didn't just stick with the stock CPU fan? I don't see a reason to upgrade unless you're wanting to overclock (or maybe noise? I feel like the stock fan isn't particularly loud on Intel CPUs but that might be me). I'd also upgrade to Windows 10 if I were you considering it's not getting the standard update support anymore (only security updates at this point until 2020) and W10 is free and totally fine. Quote
Shebi3 Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) unless you're wanting to overclock I may overclock in the future. Don't have a need to at this point but I may. It's a much bigger fan and is actually extremely popular. Most videos I have seen people use it (also the IT guy from where I work suggested it). and W10 is free and totally fine I'll take a loot at this then! I didn't know it was free still. Thanks! :) Edited October 12, 2015 by Shebi3 Quote

Thanks! :) If you may overclock, fair enough. And I certainly wasn't doubting your choice of fan (no experience there), just your choice of a aftermarket fan over a stock fan. Quote
