Hardware Part compatibility/picking help (plus a question)

[Thanatos Telos]

The only thing missing is an after market cooler.

The CPU he chose is a non-k one, so he can't OC. (And thus, the stock will perform fine at stock.)

 

[Originality]

But stock is noisy and inefficient. Even a cheap aftermarker cooler will be cooler and quieter, and that in turn means the CPU (and motherboard) lasts longer. Even if it's just an Arctic Freezer i30.

Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to get one, heat was one of my big concerns (especially for a pc that's going to be on most of the time) , but I know nothing of them so any recommendations for a good, compatible one?

Common suggestion is Hyper 212 Plus or EVO.

But I personally would go for either two,

Probably a rush decision but probably the "XIGMATEK Gaia SD1283 120mm Long Life Bearing CPU Cooler LGA1150 Haswell Compatible" just because 4/5 seems more legit from 500ish as opposed to 5 total

EDIT: Oh, forgot something since I never got an answer, is this any good as far as graphics cards go?

Either one will works fine. LGA1156, LGA1155, and LGA1150 all share the same cooler mounting points, so coolers are interchangeable among these sockets.

That GPU is perfectly fine.

There is this thing called deprecation. Things you buy will have its value decreased over the time.

Take HD7950 for example, when it first launched it had a price tag of $450. Now it depreciated into ~$300 for brand new, ~$250 for used. If OP were to buy a high end GPU/PSU but not taking advantage of it, by the time OP does take advantage of it OP will already lose some money (money spent on something OP never used in the first place).

That's true. But power supplies stay at about the same price, so not really relevant.

 

[Originality]

It's never recommended to buy a "used" PSU.
