What do you think about the H440? @Geekazoid mentioned earlier. http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX51623 It looks amazing, but I'm going to have to make sure that everything is compatible.

I'm always thinking of SLI so until I make a final decision I'm sticking with the ATX full tower there. Like to recommend a better case? I'll be gaming, rendering things like Adobe After Effects, Cinema 4D and Recording videos for a YouTube channel.

Added, it doesn't seem to make too much of a difference to me, and it has tilt, swivel, pivot, and height. I'm all in! Thank you!

What do you think about this? I'd like to stick with ASUS for the monitor. http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX40530

Hello and welcome to this thread. I'd like to start off by saying for this build, I'd like to keep the price near the same, or a little bit higher (and of course lower). Now let's get started.

Thanks!

Also, I did a large search for the NZXT Kraken X61 106.1 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler and I couldn't find it anywhere in my City, everything but NZXT, is there any other Water Coolers you'd recommend, possibly?

Awesome, would you like to make a GTX970 recommendation, or should I go with the ASUS Strix I mentioned earlier...

I was thinking of a GTX980 since you guys lowered the costs so much... Opinions?

Is it possible for a liquid cooler to leak? I think a YouTuber I used to watch had his leak, and for that reason I've been avoiding them...

Thanks guys! Added to the thread! Any suggestions for a better case, and Motherboard? I was planning on using most of these features, as I've been keeping my eye out for that motherboard for a while, but I'm definitely still open to suggestions.

Budget: $3000 Location: Alberta, Canada How many fans would you recommend for that case? Changing HDD.

This is not only my first official build, but it is my first PC. I was wondering if you guys, the LinusTechTips community could help me with my build, help me decide what in the computer I'm getting is worth the price, and if some of the parts may be replaceable with higher, or equal quality hardware; for a lower, or equal price.
