looking to upgrade my AIO

Hey guys

i have a thermaltake V71 full tower case & at the moment my specs are:

MSI gaming pro carbon Mainboard

AMD  FX-8350 @4.2 ghz Cpu

NZXT Kraken X62 AIO

24gb Kingston hyper X DDR3 ram

2 Gigabyte G1 gaming GTX 970's in SLI

a Samsung 850 evo SSD (as main drive)

2 Toshiba 2Tb dard drives (for games & other stuff)

My build is in the gallery under blue dragon mk 2, but i hae removed the bottom 3 hard drives.

 I'm looking to upgrade to a ryzen 5 or 7 ( haven't decided which yet ) later this year & i want to upgrade my Kraken X62 to the X72. BUT the 2 drives in my rig are at the top & as the x 72 is longer it's going to interfere. my question is, can i have the radiator with the tubing going to the left of the cpu or does it have to be on the right? any & all help here would be great i'm just curious about how this might turn out if i tried it, when i get time .

Nah don't bother, you've still got the GPU to worry about. Or else, save up for a high end processor. the X62 and X72 don't differ much in performance.

if you even think you're going to upgrade to a 1070ti go the the RTX 2060 for sure .. same cost for slightly better performance .. just my 2c

While I'm here, if you're short on monies .. don't bother upgrading your AIO. Ryzen runs relatively cool for their power and you're still looking at buying a motherboard and RAM at a minimum as well as soon to be GPU before replacing a perfectly good cooler
