Hello guys. What do you think about this assembly? First timer here. Building a rig that can last me for 2-3 years without major upgrades. Not that interested in overclocking hence the non K CPU. GPU maybe. Using this for gaming at 1440p preferably with >30fps.

I am not too sure about the monitor, the cooler and the CPU though. Would it be enough using an i5 6600k and invest the extra money on some of the other parts?

How does that work? Supposedly I install Windows 10 pro trial, I just use the keys to activate it?


I saw one thread selling for RM69.90 and another for RM50.

Any MOBO around 600-700 you'd recommend for this setup? Thanks.

And is the i7 necessary or will I be better to just pick the i5 6600k and spend the extra money on a good mobo
