Hi Kipper and all.. I finally got my list of parts I want to buy via PC Parts Picker. Before I buy them I got a few questions..
Intel Core i5-6600K, MSI GeForce GTX 970, Cooler Master HAF 912 USB3.0 - My Custom Build - xlooks Saved Part List - PCPartPicker
1) PC Parts Picker suggested I get a cooler for the i5. But I won't be overclocking just yet. Is it still safe to not buy it and use without it?
2) For ram I picked Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2133. But I'm confused as to what '2133' means. Is this the right memory for my system or should I get another?
3) PC Parts Picker calculated 321 watts for my rig (in the upper right hand corner). But this is far lower than what Newegg calculated. Why is that?
4) A gaming desktop will cost me $995. An Xbox One will cost $300 and a cheap notebook will cost $350 for a total of $650. Don't you think its cheaper and more beneficial to buy an Xbox One with a cheap notebook than a gaming desktop?
