You didnt give any site for price comparison . Now when we have such a site posted , since they are almost the same price , get Corsair RM750x

review here :

Does a gigabyte gtx 1070 g1 gaming fit a corsair obsidian 450d or an nzxt h440 without any problems? the asus z170 pro support the gpu fine or should i try to get a gigabyte z170x gaming 7 for better support ? Ty for your answers in advance. Recently started a thread called '' Noob builds gaming pc'' and tommorow i might buy the parts so im dying to know !:confused::confused::confused::confused::clap::peace:

Yes and yes.

For the mobo, either will work with no difference in terms of your GPU.

I combined your threads. Just ask any questions in this thread.

So in order to sum up ; the build will be probably something like this !
CPu : intel i7 6700k
GPu : gigabyte gtx 1070 g1 gaming
PCu : corsair rmx 750 w
RAM : trident z 16 gb total at 3.200 mhz ( black and white) or the vengeance lp led same specs
SSD : Samsung evo 850 240gb or sandisk 240gb
Hdd : seagate blue 1tb barracuda
Case : nzxt h440 v2 whiteblack
MB : asus z170 pro (not the gaming one due to black and white theme )

Now my only worry concerning the pc itself is the cooler : deepcool maelstrom 240t vs corsair h110i vs coolermaster nepton 240 t (money vs performance) what do you guys think overall? And yeah still havent figured out the monitor . :'( :laugh:

Nepton or corsair. I'd go for the cheapest. Both are solid AIO's

You dont need greater than 850W PSU for i7 6700K and GTX 1070 SLI

overclocked i7 6700K - max 135W
GTX 1070 SLI 500W max
orher 100-130W
-----
765W

Keep in mind that 500W for GTX 1070 is much . But Zotac state their cards can draw up to 250W . But cards like MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X SLI would need 400W ! i.e. max system consumption 665W

Wouldn't 850 W in itself be overkill?
I'd say to go for 600 W

so after all rmi 750w still havent decided the cooler , should it be hydro or just air ? i read a lot that the 110i is too much noise and is a mood killer ! What about dark rock 3 pro ? What about the other hydro coolers? Noting that i changed the motherboard and going for an gigabyte z170x gaming 7 ^^ THANKS I MEAN IT!

PSU: if you're spending around 110-120 eur for a PSU, take the EVGA G1 750w. It's easily the best unit

Depends how much extra you've have to pay for it and personal taste.

I'd go for as high a res monitor as I could afford, personally.
