I didn't even think about Prime Day, I may be able to get some great deals.  Right now my PC runs what I need so no need to hop right out and upgrade it this week.  Thanks.

There will be more to come. As Lisa said, shortly in the future there would be more announcements about Navi and other 3000 series CPUs. We will see more 7nm midrage/low range cards guaranteed.

I agree, slightly disappointed.  I am hoping that by mid year they release a mid-tier GPU using the 7NM tech.  Not everyone wants to spend over $500 for a GPU.  I personally would be will to drop $400 to $450 but can't justify the premium price for the Radion VII for my use case.
 
CPU wise, I am excited to see what it has when it gets closer, however I am a bit disappointed at the lack at information during the Keynote.

AIOs only have 2 use cases where they are worth havign over top end air cooling.
 
1)M-ATX / M-ITX form factor builds where u cant fit an air cooler.
2)Normal builds using a 360mm AIO.
 
Smaller AIO like the common 240mm, are not worth it at all.
 
 
if you 'thinking' about going custom loop, i sugest u do it. Dont waste money on a AIO.
 
Start of with a soft tubed CPu only custom loop, then upgrade later. This is how i got into it.
 
if u want to go a stage further and start of even easier, get a CPU only custom loop 'kit', u could can go a stage even further back and go wth a Aluminium kit, though that restricts ur future upgrade paths as u can only use Aluminium loop components from that point on.  (you can not mix Aluminium and Copper water cooling components)
 
That said, Custom loop water cooling is somthing you generaly do with 'spare' money after a build, or during a build after already getting the best performing primary components. You dont sacrifice GPU or CPU budget to get a custom loop.

That would be pretty awesome, however the reason I want to go with water instead of air cooling on my next build is esthetics mostly.  If i get a case with a big glass panel to view the components I dont want this massive air cooler front and center.

I didn't even think of cable extensions, that will make it look much cleaner in the meantime.
