What cpu cooler for the Corsair Spec 01?
I was wondering what cpu cooler i should get for my case. I have a lga 1150 socket. I would go with the hyper 212 evo but it is too tall.

You will not see alot of difference in that i5 over your current one; it's alot of money for nothing.

Going above a 970/1060 GPU? Get an i7

Oh ok, yea that makes more sense then.

For 1080p; going above a 1060 6GB (which is GTX 980 performance) will be pointless.

Might I suggest a corsair 750d airflow edition? I know it's 120-170$ but it's a great full tower case for future upgrades and it's optimized for better airflow

For coolers it depends. Do you want overclocking headroom? Then a AIO liquid 240mm+ rad will do that. these may leak but don't often. The cooler won't fit in the spec case

For cheaper yet decent cooling is a hyper 212 evo or there's more expensive options of push pull coolers though it can have problems with the ram or even the case if it's too big and bulky

For that CPU you don't need an extra cooler.

Wait z170? That's LGA 1151 not LGA 1150

There's a lot of good motherboards

There's one that sticks out to me. Asrock z170 extreme 7+ ATX LGA 1151 it's what I'm getting heard it has lots of USB 3.0s on the IOU also for 200$ it's a nice board

If you read what I said; I said if he was gonna do an overhauled upgrade;
get Z170 Motherboard, 6th Gen CPU, DDR4 RAM


Overall, if OP is getting an i5-4690K basically handed to him, or cheap; that would be fine.

Then save up for better GPU.
