New Build - Two Questions
I'm in the process of building a new system, and I'm down to two final questions. I think I know the answer to both, but I am confirming for sure.
1) In my current build, I have a second 500 GB SSD used to hold my Steam, Origin, and Uplay games. If I were to run them from a spinner instead, the only thing affected would be the load times, correct? I'm not worried about overall system responsiveness, because the primary drive will be a Samsung 960 Pro 512 MB m.2.
2) The processor will be a 7700K. I don't plan to overclock, at least not right away. I'm stuck between a Cooler Master Hyper 212 and the Corsair H80i v2. I love the idea of a closed loop, easy to install water cooler, but I'm trying to decide if it is worth the nearly $75 difference in cost. I'm thinking of going air-cooled right away, since I can always swap it out later. I'm leary about water-cooling and leaks, but this isn't a system built by me...which is a positive.
Any thoughts?
