I play on a 22" 720p monitor with no plans to go any larger though I'm thinking of adding another monitor or two.
I mostly play racing games with the occasional fps. I am probably overdoing this but I want it to be future proof as well
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g9Ffm8I might get an ssd eventually but I don't really need things that fast. I know i could get an 8gb ddr4 and 2 4gb ddr4 and save some money but I want to be able to add another 8gb one down the road.
Should I get extra cpu cooling even though I don't think I'll need it?
It's been a long fucking time since I've done this, so feel free to make fun of me/recommend changes

looks pretty reasonable, gaming generally doesn't put much load on the CPU compared to GPU so you can probably do what I did and get the 6400 i5 to save a few shekels
intel processors come with a cheap cooler; you shouldn't need to upgrade it if your case has decent airflow and you don't plan on overclocking. if you do want to upgrade it I probably wouldn't bother with anything less than a sealed watercooler, they usually start at around $80 I believe.

you are not spending enough money to make watercooling worth it with that setup.

is that a kbparadise v60? best keyboard
I've been considering setting up a custom watercooling loop but cost looks like it'll be around $500 or so, which is fuckin ridiculous

how do the mini cards stack up against fullsize? I have a reference 1070

The thing is I don't want a bigger monitor. Anything bigger or prettier gives me a headache
And I'm probably going to add another monitor or two of the same size because muh immersion

Alright, one more question and I promise I'll leave you guys alone.
Would it be worth it to shell out the extra $100 for a 1070 in case I decide to get into vr or will a 1060 suffice? I don't need ultra high 4k definition or anything like that.

not sure about 1060 but I have an OSVR headset and my 1070 has handled everything I've tried without issue
