Much better cpu

MUCH better cooler

Good board

Quite a bit faster ram (it matters a fair bit for ryzen)

Better ssd

MUCH better airflow case now your components won't run really hot (or overheat with the stock cooler)

 

And in budget

I'd just go for better air cooler instead of water cooling, one leak there and the pc is fried, and there are air coolers that are as good (or better) than water coolers

It's an AIO they don't leak

If you want more RGB, these are some nice parts. Watch out for the MHz count in with Ryzen, it performs better with 3600MHz then 3200MHz.

You can choose between the 6600XT and the 3060, but I'd personally opt for the 6600XT as it is a better performer for non RTX-games. The fans are optional, I just wanted to add some RGB, as you can see.

The Heatpipes of an Air cooler can also leak if you are to rough with them. But if you take care of your PC, a normal AIO will last you 5-7 years. You mostly hear of the extrem cases of failures, but not from the thousands of users that used them without any issues. Sure, AIO's add a point of failure, but it's a really low risk. GPU sag and transporting fails appear way more often, so no need for worrying.

It's A LOT easier to rip a hose of it's fitting but yeah unless you go throwing it around good luck breaking a aio :p.

 

What does kill them reliably and often is improper mounting of the radiator. With that I mean it being below the pump thus causing air to enter the pump chamber and kill it over time.

 

Either way op does not need an aio AT ALL. The fuma 2 is already overkill.

Yeah agree! No AIO needed, a good aircooler is better also for ease of use.

Why the 5600G ? Unless you are running with the onboard gpu then the 5600X is the better option.

 

The SN550 is no longer a good choice. I would take the Kingston A2000 instead.

 

That case has virtually no airflow. 

 

That Gigabyte psu is a potential fire hazard and should be avoided.
