I was told 8600k runs hot so a liquid cooler would be best

doesn't matter how good the cooling solution is when the thermal bottleneck is between the die and ihs. That's why it runs hot

besides air isn't bad

Is my build good to run if I drop the mouse and get a cheaper mechanical keyboard?

That's not really how it works when Ur custom building.
He didn't lose anything by shaving off 100, in fact he gained slight performance with higher clocked gpu, more wattage psu from same oem, matching looks, etc.

If OP reason was getting an aio cuz it "runs hot" then airs a good choice too. Though I thought he was getting it for the looks. But I doubt he is overclocking it anyway

Alrdy pm'd him a better build with 1070 while keeping the build he wants close as possible by taking out the blind purchase of kb/mouse. He doesn't know what switches are for him.

mow a couple lawns

Here...better case bottom of the line mouse...and I dropped the build from an 8600K to a 7600K, which for gaming is pretty much equal.

this so much worse than secksii build lol

Secksii's build is my original build that the OP changed to a case that won't take the motherboard.

The Fractal Design Focus G won't take an ATX motherboard. <-- According to Fractal Design



This was all done via PM, over the past two days.

This is the build I gave the OP 2 days ago...except for the peripherals.

Switched to the 7600K and 1151 mobo to try to lower price.



/ee Actually this is the original build I gave the OP, minus the peripherals.

haha word, I was just looking at it and thinking 8600k and 1060 for $1730 vs 7600k and 1060 for $1730? wtf

Well I recommended 1070 at minimum, but budget seemed to be an issue.
