Over kill for mmo.
1080 should be more than enough The h115i is a newer bigger version of h110i, it has much better track record. Go with h115i Put cpu boost to factory oc (turbo boost) 960 pro offers best speed /quality/warrenty if can swing for it. Remember DS 's warranty is 1 year. Edited by DST4ME - 18 Dec 2017 at 1:32pm |

Because the settings will be higher than needed, plus turbo boost is amazing on 8700k.
