yeah for sure. The whole "H" series is a very well made product in my experience. I have moved my 700 around quite a bit and I dont at all feel like its cheaply made. Its worth the money whether it be the 500 or 700

Having worked in an NZXT H700i extensively, I can definitely recommend it. Very durable case.

Awesome job man, I did the same thing to my wife's build a few months back, although yours is a bit cleaner!

Thanks! yes I did all the bends by hand, botched my first two before I had it down

From my experience, (i have owned multiple air coolers, X62 Kraken and now a custom loop) If im going to go liquid cooling then it will always be custom loop at this point. Air cooler will perform just as well in any other situation. AIO are simply not worth the money. if you must go liquid then save up and go custom, otherwise get a Dark Rock Pro and call it a day

I just recently did my very first hard line loop, I bought PrimoChill's PETG. One box of 6 30 inch runs, i had never bent tubing before and i still have one completely unused tube. They are cheap and if you take your time you will be surprised at how easy PETG is to work with. https://www.primochill.com/collections/petg-3-8-x-1-2/products/primochill-1-2in-rigid-petg-tube-6-x-30in-clear

yeah id probably slap a block on that as well

yeah that's what I have noticed. those are really good numbers you had. This card has been a workhorse for me and I dont see a need to water cool it other than the aesthetic. Ill just wait until im ready to upgrade and do it then!

Thank you. yeah id like to at some point, i may wait a bit until the RTX cards come down in price and pull the trigger then. My current set up has the card idling around 25c and around 55-65 under full load so im not in a hurry.

Consider the table over clocked. lol.

no problem!

Probably have already seen it but the Corsair 1000D would suit your needs. not cheap and more than twice your $200 limit but i haven't found one under that price or even close that also looks good... https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G7PT6937

I'm loving this design, great job

Clean looking build, sucks about the process though
