Here's what I'd do:
Flash the BIOS on your current mobo so it supports Kaby Lake chips (its very easy to do).
Buy this, sell the two game codes, you should be able to get $50 all day easily. Sell your 6500 on ebay, they get around $130, sell the mobo that comes with this bundle, looks like those get $70-80 on ebay.
130+70+50 (conservative estimates, that's pretty much low end for everything) = $250 in sales. Tada, you just upgrade from 6500 to 7700k for $40.
You'll need to get a cooler, since 7700k's don't come with a stock one, but since you don't plan on OC'ing, this should be more than enough, could probably even do a light OC if you ever end up wanting to.
Alright, this is just for confirmation but this is the fan that was on my CPU. I'm thinking about getting [this](Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED CPU Cooler with PWM Fan, Four Direct Contact Heat Pipes, Unique Blade Design and Red LEDs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KBXKP8W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_rK5EzbZ6Z7FKN) fan as a replacement. I'm probably going to get a new case after I upgrade my GPU to the 1050TI. Would this work on top of my CPU?
Looks like a really good build. I will put part links in the end of the post. Here's some tips to save a bit of money if you're open to it:
TL;DR: cut back on PSU efficiency ratings, look for different 16GB or even 8GB RAM kits, ditch CPU cooler (or keep if you want), get an RX 480 for saving money on future monitors, you can also put another RX 480 in your build in the future with a different motherboard; an ATX motherboard would fill your case and add capability for a second RX 480, a non-Samsung SSD could save you some money, while for $100, you can get an SSD and a 1TB hard drive.

I hope my advice helped you and that this didn't overwhelm you. If you save enough money, you could throw in a red LED PWM fan, which adjusts its speed based on your computer's needs. You could maybe even throw in an LED strip or two. I had a lot of fun making this, thanks for posting :D
Here is a 47$ fan for 7$: https://www.amazon.ca/Cooler-Master-Contact-Cooling-RR-212L-16PR-R1/dp/B01KBXKP8W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480083097&sr=8-2&keywords=hyper+212
On the page it's 21$ but if you use this mail in rebates you can get 15$ more: http://www.mirhelp.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Promo-_72116-RR-212L-16PR-R1.pdf
I just bought this very fan for this very cpu, but I can't actually tell with if it's good enough for overclocking, since I don't know really anything on the subject. Also, mail in rebates aren' like by everyone, so consider this.
See I was thinking about this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KBXKP8W/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 because on
http://www.coolermaster.com/we-are-ready-for-your-am4-socket/
it shows it was already am4 ready.
Three suggestions:
Thermaltake Suppressor F31
Thermaltake View 31
Phanteks Enthoo Pro M (out of stock so this is the white version)
Thermaltake Core X31
They all sit in the medium range cost wise, but they'll give you an important option of freeing up the front of your case so you can put your case fans and draw outside air in.
Other than this, the Sickleflow fans you picked are fine, you can go with them. If you're tight on budget, then let me know what you have to work with so I'll try to suggest the best option within that. Also let us know how much you're looking to overclock that CPU. It is very regularly known to hit 5GHz if enough cooling is given.
Edit:
If all this is sounding very costly to you, and you were not much interested in overclocking anyway, I'd suggest you to go for the i7 8700 processor (Rs. 22K), a Gigabyte Aorus 3 Gaming B360 motherboard (Rs. 10K), and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 CPU cooler (Rs. 2.8K) and call it a day. At stock speeds the 8700 is better at gaming than the 8600K.
But you need a cooler for any CPU. Intel used to include their stock coolers in the box but I think the 9600K doesn't have one. They were too basic anyway. You can get a decent cooler, even enough for some light overclocking if you decide to try it later on, for 25-35 dollars. These two are good options:

Yes overkill for this cpu but fuck it, I love the color scheme. I'll just benchmark the system and throw in a Kaby i5 7600K for the real CPU intended for this build right after and use the G4560 for an ultra cheap build I will gift to my son's friend so they can play some games together.
I don't think that you need to get a new cpu. The i5 4400 is still pretty decent CPU.
I think you just need to check your cooling solution. Bring your PC outside and open it up. Check the fan on the CPU and make sure that the fan and grills are free of dust.
You could also just buy a new cooler. I would recommend the Hyper 212 Evo that's half off right now.
Annnd does not ship until the new year.. super lame.
May buy this

What does everyone think of this cooler?
At some point i got a coolermaster one that is pretty damn good. I got it because I was having issues with reboots and whatnot (all caused by a failing PSU, a month before the 7 year warranty wore off). Yes, folks, the extra money for the high quality PSU is worth it. I got a new one after 6.95 years. :)
​
This is what I have:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KBXKP8W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
​
when i bought it, i only paid $30. I'm almost positive I could overclock higher.
​
My overclocking history:
​
2011-2018 not overclocked
2018- now overclocked to 4.0
​
It was stable at 4.2, but i figured 4.0 was enough. I'm sure I could push it pretty high.
Thanks for the support folks. Even without the 100 gift card this is a steal, so I'm in. Always been interested, but the price point has been my barrier.
For the techie types, here's was i got in addition to the bundle.
Cooler
Thermal Paste
USB 3.0 Card
I swapped the stock cooler out on day 1 for the original Hyper212 , so not sure how good it is .
Anyway , I just recently changed to this newer Hyper 212 Led $30 , it is much much more easier to install in comparison with the original one , as the fan snapped easily to the heatsink without the need of metal retention . I'm quite satisfied and recommending this easily if OP is into overclocking .
Follow up question, amazon users are giving mixed answers on whether Cooler Master Hyper 212 CPU Cooler fits or not. If you can clarify the same, it will be very helpful.
​
Edit: After watching this guy's video I bought the case. Although his video mentions SPEC-M2 version, the lengths are the same.

It all depends on your budget. If you can afford liquid cooling for the CPU, you'll be able to overclock it higher. If not there's this cooler for cheap which everyone recommends: https://www.amazon.ca/Cooler-Master-Contact-Cooling-RR-212L-16PR-R1/dp/B01KBXKP8W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480083097&sr=8-2&keywords=hyper+212
The motherboard always confuses me, just do your research there. This one looks like it would pair up nicely with that 1070. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128837
I'd recommend this PSU http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX52306
Last question, would it be better instead to get this cooler (which has a $15 mail in rebate, that I can essentially get for $7 CDN) instead of the liquid one? - https://www.amazon.ca/Cooler-Master-Contact-Cooling-RR-212L-16PR-R1/dp/B01KBXKP8W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480083097&sr=8-2&keywords=hyper+212
This one should enough for you

But if you buget is big a I suggest any nocuta CPU cooler because there just the best
Or a be quite if you want you want your PC to make less noise
My setup is a 4690k with gtx 970 and 16gb of ram.
Previously this was fine for the types of games I was playing (mostly War Thunder) but now I have bought CoD and Jedi Fallen Order I have noticed my CPU running consistently at 100% and giving me fps drops in both games.
I plan to upgrade my cpu (and therefore probably motherboard and RAM eventually) when I can afford to but for now I was planning on running an OC on my cpu to get a little more out of it.
My question is what CPU cooler would you recommend that would work with my current 4690k but also be good enough for my new cpu when I eventually upgrade.
I would like to spend less than £50 ($65). I dont care too much about noise or RGB but I would like it to not be obnoxiously loud or ugly.
Would a beginner like me notice the difference between something like this vs this?
My case is a zalman z11
TL;DR: Want to OC my 4690k but need a better cooler. Needs to also work for my eventual upgraded CPU
To be completely honest I wouldn't use the stock cooler for anything modern. You should definitely get an aftermarket cooler but that one's a little much. I have thisin my rig atm and it doesn't get above 55 C even under heavy load (But i don't use the stock fan. I used the brackets that came with it and swapped out the fan with two of my own, since it came with an extra set for the other side.

My Model Number is: RR-212L-16PR-R1
My Ticket is 00107441.
There are numerous other people on newegg that seem to have the same issue, even when they receive the new 212 LED
It looks just like this, with the slit in the middle for the retention handle.

I used this for a while to cool my 6700k @4.7. It kept it at 79° after 15 minutes at full load.
This is what I purchased earlier this year.

Also, how does this remind you of periods?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KBXKP8W/ref=twister_B06WRV2YXR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
yea stock is a bit noisy, a cheap and decent upgrade would probably be an old 212. https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-RR-212E-20PK-R2-Direct-Contact/dp/B01KBXKP8W?th=1 they go on sale for as low as 15 bucks sometimes too. but those things are pretty quiet for how well they work. (and the price) plus you can go ahead and repaste it when you upgrade
​
edit: also i built my mom an identical 8120 build with a different gpu. that thing has been on 12 hours a day 5-7 days a week since 2011 and is still going strong.
The Ryzen 7 1700X doesnt come with a cpu cooler, so that was why I included one. You can't use a cpu without a cooler.
Here are some alternative coolers that will perform basically the same to the one that is sold out:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KBXKP8W/?tag=pcpapi-20
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075N67NQ5/?tag=pcpapi-20&th=1
Definetly gonna buy cpu cooler, is this the latest one?
http://www.amazon.in/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-CPU/dp/B01KBXKP8W/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1497355793&sr=1-1&keywords=hyper+212+led
Please don't attempt to OC with the built-in utility, especially not on the stock cooler. It may unnecessarily increase voltage, and it most certainly won't be stable. Try this cooler, or similar: https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-RR-212E-20PK-R2-Direct-Contact/dp/B01KBXKP8W and then Linus TechTips has a nice, detailed OC guide, which you could use with your current CPU or an i7 upgrade here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CHs5_TdpXE. What PSU do you have, also? Your power supply can cause instability when overclocking, if it can't output an adequate amount of power with sufficient voltage stability.
I got this for my R5. It's just a regular cooler but it is good if you aren't confident in watercooling yet (I'm very skeptical about leaks and whatnot).
For a monetarily cheap watercooler though, I was considering this for a long time. You can request an am4 bracket (or maybe you have to buy one? I think they're like 5$ if you do).
edit: I see you meant watercooling for your gpu lol, can't help you there

Yep. That's too high. Shouldn't go beyond 70 if you CPU isn't overclocked. Get new thermal paste on the CPU and clean the cooler. You could also look into a cheap after market cooler like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED or DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX GTE
Hey, since your budget is around $1350, I can't say much but its best for you to choose your own keyboard, mouse, and headphones because they're personal equipment meaning one might not work best for you if it doesn't suit you comfortably. So, for now, I'm just gonna give you a PC build w/ monitor + OS only.

Buy those as an alternate (for newegg) and you're good to go! It shouldn't make such a price difference.
Oh thanks!I thought aio was not that expensive,do you recommend this cpu cooler for the ryzen 3 1200?
$15 212 evo, don't know how much shipping is gonna be for ya https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KBXKP8W/
I have that Noctua cooler in a Deskmini. It's great with the 2400G at stock speeds. Near silent
Another idea: I've also had a Hyper 212 in the past. $30 at the moment https://www.amazon.ca/Cooler-Master-Contact-Cooling-RR-212L-16PR-R1/dp/B01KBXKP8W/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=hyper+212&qid=1565137804&s=gateway&sr=8-3 Seems a bit of a bargain. I never noticed the noise of the Hyper 212.
I'm not sure this fits the case, but it fits your budget and is an excellent cooler. Scroll down, buy the used version for $19. I've bought two of these recently and they had everything and were like brand new.

Hyper 212 is super cheap semi easy to install and a solid cooler for a light OC so for you to get to 4Ghz. Your motherboard isn't the best but it should work for the FX 6300 to reach 4Ghz.
As for overclocking I used this guide back in the day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MckeAmnDeTk
This is for the FX 8350 but the FX 8350 and FX 6300 are the same chip except the FX 8250 has 2 more cores on it so the overclocking rules are the same overall.
As for temps I know your feeling I live in a literal desert cactus filled desert so I know temps with the hyper 212 you will be good with 4Ghz as long as you remember to keep your computer clean :)
Or go with a Hyper 212 with a led fan https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Direct-Contact-Unique/dp/B01KBXKP8W/ref=sr_1_31?ie=UTF8&qid=1485788404&sr=8-31&keywords=aio+water+cooler

Minimum OC anybody should aim for is 4.7 GHz (MCE), it should be capable of that. But it's a pretty weak cooler.
