Awesome! I am very happy with it so far I got the CPU,RAM and Mobo as a bundle from microcenter.  I have been trying to figure out how to overclock the RAM but I cant get the system to stay stable with the expo setting so im just leaving it to run at 4800mghz for now. 

700 for a gpu is kinda cheap now,Look at the 4090 or either amd 7900 cards.As far as how long they last depends the settings your willing to cut in time.My brother still games on a 2080 super he bought when it was new.Hes had to cut a few game settings down a tiny bit to get 120fps plus.

A CPU upgrade is almost never just a CPU upgrade either, you'll probably need a new motherboard and memory as well, so I see sense leaving performance on the table there on purpose.

Only if the centrifugal effect wasn’t working or wasn’t working well enough.  It doesn’t work on the membrane filter principal so mush as the stormtrooper-crashing-in-to-a-tree principal 

Push pull on any rad under 60mm thick is not worth the money to buy more fans.

Thermalright PA120, just because the price/performance.

$175 can get you a lot. 
 
Something like the deepcool AK620 will suffice

And other large coolers like the Scythe Fuma

The LT720 uses a 27mm radiator, so there's not going to be a huge benefit to push/pull in the first place. Different fans won't have any negative effects imo.

Changing the orientation of the fan shroud doesn't change anything.
 
Op, not really no. I honestly wouldn't even bother with having airflow that dialed in.

ASUS is making things complicated. Technically this board is between an ATX and EATX. An ATX maximum width is 9.6 inches, and EATX width can go up to 13 inches. ASUS says your board is 10.7 inches wide, so technically it falls under EATX territory since it larger than standard ATX. With that being said, your options in the Define 7 line up are reduced to the standard and the XL versions only. The other variants do not support any thing larger than 9.6 inches (ATX) motherboards.
 
Sorry for the confusion from my original post. The Define 7 Compact, Nano, and Mini are not compatible with your board.

i literally slapped on the 240 mm deepcool ls520 today...temps are stable and great! couldn't recommend enough. 

The new ls deepcools are in the top 5 coolest aios 
 

Honestly with how good microcenter is with their customer service I wouldn't bother opening the thing at the store. Had a monitor with a bit of backlight bleed and returned it and they simply took it no questions asked and I got a different monitor. Did the same with a 2080ti that was having stability issues. 

Get a case where you don’t need 13 fans? 😄

A good quality cooler does go a long way, glad to hear it 🙂

My 7900x with a deepcool as500 plus runs cooler then most aios i have seen.

Look at how many people say their Ryzen runs hot with an AIO. Ryzen runs cool with my air coolers.

Please place a support ticket in regards to getting an upgrade kit for your Assassin III cooler. The support team can send out the required kit, you just have to provide the information they need.

This is correct. Our support teams send out upgrade kits constantly.

He could email deepcool,They might send him a bracket kit for it.

Thanks for the help, guys! Still doing a little researching!

Though Assassin III was kind of made irrelevant by the AK620 for less money.

AIO pump goes into the AIO header, AIO fans plug into the CPU_FAN header

Hose bend on that AIO is the highest point so an air bubble may keep trying to collect there.  I don’t know if it makes a huge difference though.
