Post Body

Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Hello Everybody. My 6-year old PC is about to die, and instead of thinking of the funeral I'm already planning the replacement.

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Basically, I want a gaming Pc. I don't play multiplayer much, but I have a big single-player steam backlog that I want to play. RPG, strategy, shooters...

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

Eventually, when the prices drop, I want to get a G-sync monitor. But for the moment I'm holding. I want a computer to last for some time. I am not very good at overclocking. Everything longer than two mouse clicks is basically too much for me.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

1000€

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

Spain

For Storage i'm using my old Samsung 840 and another HD with 1tb

CPU Cooler: Truly, I don't know. I have been trying to find help with this one. Since I live in the Canary Islands, something that makes sure nothing overheats would be cool (pun intended)

Power Supply: The same. I have been researching, but I haven't been able to do much.

Case: I have a recently bought Coolbay SX Nox. I hope everything fits inside.

Optical Drive: I am also using my old one.

So, what do you think? Any tips with CPU coolers and Power supply?

Provide any additional details you wish below.

Thank you for helping.
