QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Oct 22 2016, 05:07 PM) 4k budget can get i5 + GTX1060 6GB already (GTX1070 is possible too if you aren't too picky on parts and casing). I noticed you wrote to reuse your current R7 265 or upgrade to GTX1050Ti, that's just the entry level Pascal card, may I know which genre of games do you play? Light weight games like Dota 2 and CS:GO only? As for CPU cooler, you can just stick with the stock cooler since the i5 you picked cannot be overclocked on a non Z170 mobo. yea i go for i5 6500 or i5 6600 non k ver as i wont be OC hence non Z170 mobo.. its not purely on light games tho..sometimes i play AAA games too so i think i need newer graphic card..im stuck at RX480 8gb ver or GTX1060 6gb ver before but since the announcement of GTX1050ti i might be reconsider for cpu cooler i want to change for new one if possible since its quite broken (some fin is crooked)..rather i go for the same cooler or change it to AIO liquid..since my budget is higher than what i want to buy, i might buy a new SSD

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Oct 22 2016, 08:35 PM) Since your budget is able to fit GTX1060/RX480 then it would be better to get either of them straightaway, unless you plan not to use up all your available budget.
When you buy the CPU, it comes with a stock Intel HSF which is totally a new cooler for you, you don't have to reuse your current CPU cooler at all. well i dont think stock intel HSF is that good since im doing autocad/solidwork
