Supposibly the AIO cooler I have will not fit on top since it's a 280mm :( and I'm reusing it from my last build until I do the custom loop, then I will have a 240mm radiator in the top, a 120mm fan in the back, and 3 120mm in front, that's the most it can fit

I may use an air cooler instead until the custom loop, since with the AIO I wouldn't have good airflow to my GPU's

For how long will you be using it before you start a custom loop ?

QUOTES

Spoiler

"So because they didn't give you the results you want, they're biased? You realize that makes you biased, right?" - @App4that

"Brand loyalty/fanboyism is stupid." - Unknown person on these forums

"Assuming kills" - @Moondrelor

"That's not to say that Nvidia is always better, or that AMD isn't worth owning. But the fact remains that this forum is AMD biased." - @App4that

"I'd imagine there's exceptions to this trend - but just going on mine and my acquaintances' purchase history, we've found that budget cards often require you to turn off certain features to get slick performance, even though those technologies are previous gen and should be having a negligible impact" - ace42

"2K" is not 2560 x 1440

Big Update:

It is complete until I do a custom CPU loop. I ran into an issue with one of my cables not working, but all is well now. 

Your feedback is wanted. Also sorry in advance for pictures, I am not a photographer

 

Also because of the picture size I will have to post in several different posts
