I would like to have some minor upgrade my pc in terms of adding more ram and changing the cpu cooler. My current rig is:

Intel core i5 3570k
Asus P8Z77 V-LK
Kingston Hyperx 1866Mhz 8gb 1.5V
Gtx 750ti 2gb
Cooler master Elite 500W
Armageddon T7 case

For the cpu cooler to I would like to change from stock to ID cooling FrostFlow240L, and adding another 1866Mhz 8gb ram as well. So my concerns are will the cooler fit in case/mobo and do I need to upgrade my psu as well?

Upon checking, your casing doesn't seem to have any mounting point for CPU AIO water cooler radiator, so you will need to change the casing as well (unless you mod the casing which can be a little bit troublesome).

Others can keep.
Thanks for the quick reply. Well I guess I'll just get myself 212x cooler then. sad.gif

Can i get build suggestions with or without monitor for both 1150 and 1151 cpu socket.

The price difference between LGA1150 and LGA1151 is very small and it is not easy to find any new LGA1150 hardware in the market now so I will just use LGA1151 as reference for the build list.

Intel Pentium G4400 - RM 240
Asus H110M-K - RM 253
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133 Value RAM - RM 229
Palit GTX1050 2GB GDDR5 StormX - RM 565
FSP Hexa+ 450W - RM 166
Tecware F3 - RM 125

Total: RM 1578 (ETech price inclusive of GST)
Get a cheaper mobo and upgrade the GPU to GTX1050Ti instead.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I thought new LGA1150 hardware still widely available and might be cheaper than LGA1151. So I'll use this as reference. Thanks again.
