Okay guys. I finally did it. I finished my build this weekend (can't post a picture because my phone got fucked the same night) but here are the specs

i5-6600K
MSI Z170 SLI Plus
Corsair H55 AiO
(2x4) 8gb DDR4 2400Mhz Corsair Vengeance
Corsair CXM 550W
all in a NZXT S340 Elite...

yes I know no GPU, i'm waiting for a deal on a 1060 or 1070. But also saving for a 1080.

and right now all it can play is League of Legends (on ultra with 130 FPS which surprised TF out of me with just integrated graphics)

Now my questions are these..
1. What are the benefits of activating Windows 10 (currently not activated)
2. What's a good software for monitoring in game CPU temps and RAM usage and what not?
3. Is there any sign of GPU's coming down in price from all the mining?

Get MSI AfterBurner and pair it up with RivaTuner Statistics. You can choose which info to display on the in-game overlay thingy, in your case just tick the "CPU Temp" and "RAM usage" options.
Very customizable and popular, might be a bit tricky to get started but it's definitely one of the best softwares for that kind of use.
