Tarro Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) If you dont have DDR4 you could get that, AIO Water Cooler, new peripherals, new fans, or just save it torwards GPU/CPU upgrade down the road. Tons of other things $150 could get you as well. Specs list? Edited December 25, 2018 by Tarro Tyler likes this Link to comment

Tarro Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 Just now, Hi Am Vedalkenn said: Just a regular fan. An AIO would have much lower temps compared to regular fan. Also would allow you to overclock more safely in the future if you wanted. Link to comment

I'd go with a Cryorig C7 for the cpu, though Corsair does make good products, a H60 would work really well, or maybe a H100. He also can't overclock on that cpu but could buy a AIO just for down the road.

Jaster Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 1 hour ago, Hi Am Vedalkenn said: Alright thank you! Overclocking is huge in arma. I have a i5 4690k and overclocked I am getting 80-90 frames on altis life servers with 130 or so in cqc. Getting a liquid cooling system can allow you to overclock more because it can deal with the extra heat. Link to comment
Tyler Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) I would probably save up for an i7 9700k like $350 or a RTX 2070 which is 500-650 Edited December 25, 2018 by Tyler Russell* and Twinkie like this Link to comment

(if you want to go with RBG, the quad lumi looks good but is overpriced like all rgb stuffs) My apologies you are correct. Didn’t see he had a locked CPU. And for the cooler. Air is also effective but are often large and bulky. Really comes down to preference in this situation. Personally, I have the H60 and it has been perfect for the year or so I’ve had it. Has brackets for pretty much everything besides Ryzen. Good warranty too!@Hi Am Vedalkenn Edited December 26, 2018 by Tarro Link to comment
