Building new PC

[Unseelie]

at this point, the thing I'm curious about is your cooling solution.

Heatsinks, fans, etc? Have you considered those? they really do make a large difference.

I'm actually using an 8700K, but lost the silicon lottery so overclocking only gets me to about 4.5gz. That is, for most games, completely unnecessary, as bombstrap has said, but we believe in some future proofing.

The part of that build that is going to bottlneck you the soonest is the GPU, at only the 3gb version of the 1060, you'll probably want to consider upgrading that first, in a year or too. Still, so long as you cool those components adequately, you'll have plenty of headroom for most games.
