Okay so im looking at the Phantom 820 and i was wondering if i could mount a triple 120mm rad on the top and still be able to have a optical driver too or would i be better off going with a dual 120mm rad there will be a second rad placed at the bottom of the of the case i will be pulling the bottom hard drive bay out. here is a list of my parts that im going to have in the computer
the fans will be replace with either the Corsair Air Series SP120 High Performance Edition or the Corsair Air Series SP120 Quiet Edition i just dont know how many i will need and also
there will be another 16gb of ram and another video card later down the line when is have some more money. thus is the reason why i have the 860w power supply

and also what is a good pump and rez combo because that will be going right under the optical drive unless you know of a something that would work better then that.

why would i put a single rad cooler on the CPU when you should go with the dual because they would way better (even when not over clocking) and when did water cooling turn into builds all the info i get is blah blah blah get a CPU that can over clock because that's the only thing CPU are good for. I asked one question about rad placement and get your build should have over clocking your don't need visualization blah blah blah this is the computer i want you to build because I'M a pro and know everything that you are going to be doing on the computer later on in your life.

Honestly, that build was fine, but was very illogical and has a lot areas for improvement, no matter what your use is, but in the end its your choice. I'm done.
