    The price is fairly steep at $22. There's a lot of content, but IMO, you have to really want it to drop $22 on a third party DLC for a six year old game.

     

    I don't think we'll be able to make a template for the new map, because not everyone in the unit will buy this.

    1. The 8700 says it can go between 3.2 and 4.6 GHz
    2. Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo is listed as "incompatible"

    3. Motherboard is listed as this imposing array of Star Trek techobabble: ASUS ROG Strix B360-F Gaming, S-1151, ATX, B360, DDR4, 2xPCIe-x16, M.2
    4. The Ram upgrade is no issue, its a veeeeeery small increase in price nearly insignificant in context.

    CPUs dynamically upclock and downclock within certain limitations, depending on load. That is not the same as overclocking, which refers to setting clock speeds beyond those manufacturer's limits.

    Then you're going with the Dark Rock Pro 3. If you have room in your case.

    Make sure that the motherboard supports K series CPUs.

    Just Do It /Nike /Shia.

    Stock cooler plus this impressive array of numbers and letters: CM Hyper H411R LGA115X, 92mm

    That's pretty dinky, especially for that particular CPU. It's useless, and they're using the bundle deal to dump inventory. Ignore it or recycle it.

     

    I recommend you do these things:

    1. Upgrade from an 8700 to an 8700K. K-series CPUs allow you to overclock.
    2. Upgrade the CPU cooler. Get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo if you're on a budget, or a Dark Rock Pro 3 if you're not.
    3. List your motherboard so we know what you're installing the CPU in.
    4. Upgrade your RAM speed, as Jones said. Go for 3000 MHz at minimum.

    The CPU actually ships with extra dedicated CPU cooling as part of the "package" so that should not be an issue

    If you're referring to the stock cooler Intel ships with its CPUs, those aren't worth the money it costs to build them. You want a third party, dedicated cooler.
