Hello everyone, after posting my wish to buy a custom PC online, users have told be to build my own so here I am.

I am seeking help to build it from people who actually know if it will fit, work well, etc. (last one i built my GPU was too big for my case and I broke the case while trying to install it, so I had to buy a new case :bonk: )

I would like to use http://www.newegg.ca/ to order it since I had good service with this website 4 years ago.

My budget is around 1500$. I have my monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers, but I would not mind upgrading. I could go 1750$ if people agree that the 250 extra bucks is making a huge difference.

I would like the case to be good looking with a window to see inside, but I don't have a particular color in mind. Liquid cooling is I think a must for a gaming desktop? So I guess I will have it.

If you have suggestions/builds, please post them!

Thanks!

liquid cooling is only required for overclocking?

what are the benefits of overclocking?

Here, I changed a few things,.. in short you get a cool theme (red/black), better motherboard, cheaper, but less storage space (just about average).

edit: Also with this processor 6600k, you can overclock it easily with 1 button with this motherboard,.. the benefits is you get more processor speed, though you wont notice it if you dont use apps or games that require that much of cpu.

My suggestion to you is dont overclock it, I know you arent a pc extremist so it wont make any difference to you, its an extremely good processor as it comes already.

As you posted nicely Ill tell you, people used to overclock processors to get more out of a processor back then, but nowadays the processors are a lot stronger than any regular use, so basically what Im saying is, you can overclock it, but most likely you wont need it.
