So is there no way to load a fan/pump profile into the AIO? Kinda like how you can load a DPI profile into a mouse and it will stay like that without any software?

I was planning on getting the X63 for my 10700k, but the X73 is like $20 CAD more so should I go with that instead (Or are there better options around $200-250 CAD)? I do plan on overclocking my 10700k. Thanks

Also I understand that AMD has some kick ass cpu's out right now, however, I'm not familiar with them AT ALL and from what I've seen, AMD's offerings aren't that much better for the price (in Canada) than intel so I just thought I'd play it safe and go intel. Plus I'm familiar with overclocking on intel only.

Yeah that makes sense. Personally I'm a hardcore gamer so I like to eek out every last FPS from my games lol. Thanks for the input.

Well, it is a 165hz monitor and I would like to crank every setting to max and get as close to 165 fps as possible in all games. For instance, even GTA V might give the 3080 a run for its money if every single setting is maxed out.

I definitely WON'T be buying windows for $170 LOL. Yeah I'll prolly buy it from Kinguin or something. Thanks for the input.

Thank you guys for the input. I'm probably going to get the RM850x, but do you guys know what the quality is like? I understand that it's tier A, but I've always had EVGA psu's, so is this corsair PSU built with high quality in mind (the electricals, etc)? Or do you think I need to increase my PSU budget for a quality PSU? Thanks.

Yeah I'm not actually going to buy that windows key for $170 lol. It's just in there to show which OS I'm going run. Thanks for the concern though.

Should I get the NZXT Kraken X63 to cool my I7 10700k? I do plan on overclocking it and I want to make sure it runs cool without breaking the bank. Would the x63 be good enough? If not PLEASE feel free to express your opinion as to which cooler I should get. Thanks.

For this build I have taken a look at the psu tier list and there's just so many options. What is the highest quality psu I could get for around $200 CAD?

I appreciate your feedback. Could you please explain why it is better?

Hi guys, please feel free to critique the build I'm about to make in the coming weeks (some parts are on the way-disregard the prices in the list). Also do you think 750 W will be enough for this system (planning to overclock)? Additionally, do you believe an i7 10700k will bottleneck the RTX 3080 at 1440p? Should I have gone with a better cpu—I am only planning to game though. Thank you.

Specifically at 1440p 165 hz gaming. In games such as gta 5, pubg, etc.

Yes
