Build with Me!

Over the next few months I plan on pricing and acquiring the parts for my newest build.  This will be my 3rd build but first in a while as my last build has lasted me several years.  I hope that this new build will last the same length of time and give me even more room to upgrade as needed.  This will be a semi-budget build(under $1,000 US).   Looking forward to all the help from the community over the next few weeks and I hope I'm able to build the best PC possible and show it off for you all.  PCpartpicker listed below.  Thanks in advance for any and all help.

if you want it to last i wouldnt get an AIO, but thats about it

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Any real data to support this?

 

Thanks.

Air coolers last longer, a block of metal wont randomly die because an air bubble made its way from the radiator to the pump. The tubes of an AIO absorb liquid just like any other watercooling tubing, that will eventiually create air pockets and from what i have seen on this forum that takes 3-5 years before it kills the pump or the performance is awful because there is a lot of air. Meanwhile air coolers only have the fans that could die, which is the same as any AIO. If you want a cooler to last, i would buy a decent air tower over an AIO. Makes sense money wise too as most 240mm AIOs get beaten by air coolers for the same or less money

This is the first I've heard about the liquid absorption. Thanks again.  I'll set my alarm for 3 years hence.

Not to get sidetracked... too badly.  I like your build and defintely want to do a Ryzen next and I love the NZXT cases.

Can't wait to see the completed work of art.

I'll be sure to upload the final result, but it will be a couple months before I get all the parts.  Got to buy a piece at a time.

Updated PC part list to add some RGB and going with a more powerful mobo to allow for future upgrades, and also take out the water cooler and stick with stock for now with the ability to add a air cooler if the build needs it.  I won't be overclocking the 2600X to start though, so I don't feel like I will need more than the stock cooler with all the air flow I should have with adding the 4 fans.
