Fantastic choice of components but feel free to get the AX760 and save yourself a bit of cash unless you think you'll be using the link software.

Also please don't tell me you're gonna use that lovely rig with the stock heatsink??

I am sorry but for know it will be running with the stock cooler becase i dont have a big the money to buy an after market cpu cooler for know. but for the summer i will get a swiftech h220 your another upgradable close loop case by the Christmas I will make a custom watercooling loop.

If you are planning on going custom watercooling, then I'd advise not bothering with an AIO/closed loop, just get a cheap little aftermarket cooler and stick a nice fan on it.

Bump that PSU down to just the Ax760 as suggested, and put the savings into a dead cheap CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO. You won't regret it!

The only difference of the AX760i to AX760 is the corsair link compatablity?

Yes, Corsair link is not worth it.

You could save money by going for a Corsair RM 550W or RM 650W, that'd easily power that rig and still be quiet. Also if it's just for gaming a 4670K would be fine too.

Yes, Corsair link is not worth it.

And the AX760 is made by Seasonic where the AX760i is a Flextronics unit

I will do some lite render and photoshop so i need the extra cores. And becase games are getting more core demmanding #BF4 e will future proff the pc a little bit

And what does it means?

The i7 has just as many physical cores as an i5, but twice the threads due to HyperThreading technology.

That means that both units are going to be slightly different. Seasonic are known for making some of the highest quality units and the AX760 is cheaper than the AX760i, so if you don't need Corsair Link, it's quite an easy choice

Just remember not to overclock on the stock cooler (well better not to anyway) and then feel free to do so once you've picked up a CPU cooler. If it was me i'd get the H105 by corsair and definitely not the swift tech H220

I run mine OC'd and undervolted with my stock cooler. Its actually the quietest thing inside my rig at any given moment while running at higher RPMs. Just lets the CPU stay at about 60C during gaming/benching and only 40C during idle.

If OP really does have the intention to watercool then don't bother with an AIO now.

Ah I hadn't realised they'd intended to watercool. In that case as Neverbackdown has said just avoid AIOs as it's a waste of money that could be invested into your WC setup.

As for your Stock cooler temps. Mighty impressive dude. You're not using coollabs liquid ultra or something are you?

 

[NeverBackDown]

Nope stock paste.

For the OP though I was just pointing out that the stock cooler will do you fine until you watercool if you dont mind lower volts and lower clocks for a while.
