Didn't feel like typing watercooling ^^ RAM looks good, 8gb is enough for me (for now), Corsair is a respected brand.

Ok. WC didn't make me think about water cooling but about bath rooms... Why would you want that computer in one.

Indeed, you would think being in the centre of Europe makes hardware easily accessible...

Stoked on the build! Stupid question though: Why are you getting a Network Adapter? Doesn't the MB have LAN or something like that?

It's a wireless card. No build in wifi.

As @KR_King mentioned, I need WiFi connection. I live in a 3 floor house and can't run the cables from downstairs all the way up, so I need the wireless card. (It's also a rental house, so I can't drill holes in the walls :P)

Why did I pick this one? It was highly suggested to me.
