What's the PC build/budget/parts/monitor resolution/refresh rate?

Or do you already own the PC parts?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

And the water cooling parts?

You can probably make anything fit inside the Core X9, don't know if any case specifically supports 140mm radiators, maybe a fractal something

Or this thing might have enough room, most people just use 120mm radiators...

Thats a nice case certainly one to look into although on look at the spec sheet i wouldn't be able to fix my current radiator in.

DRIVES:500GB Samsung 970 Pro + Patriot Blast 480GB x2 + 12tb RAID10 NAS

There's a limited list of modern cases that can support 420mm rads. 

 

Fractal Desing Define R6 / S / S2 (Top only)

Phanteks Evolv X (Front only)

be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 / 900 rev 2

Thermaltake Core X71 / V71 / A500

 

Sadly the Lian Li case Does not support a 420mm rad

 

This is just what I know/could find relatively quickly. Note that your thickness of your rad will determine compatibility, as I dont believe you can fit a particularly Thick rad in the Fractal Design cases for example (Ram Clearance)
