So Hello guys,

 

This is my first PC build, as well as that I would like to make a custom loop with hardline tubing. Now as i have no experience with PC building at all i understand its a tall order.

 

As stated i would like to make a custom loop, and honestly, i am researching it but, is there a good way to plan the loop? Also, i went with the O11 Dynamic from Lian Li as i like the design and also I quite fancy the EK-Quantum Reflection PC-O11D D5 PWM D-RGB - Plexi from EK (https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-quantum-reflection-pc-o11d-d5-pwm-d-rgb-plexi).

As well as going with planning the loop, I don't really know how to plan for all the tubing, fittings, and so on. Now because of Croatian tax and prices, this pc without any cooling is about 4k USD. I am looking at amazon in Germany to see as they may have better prices. But worst-case scenario i have about 2k for cooling and upgrades from the current plan.  For compatibility the other gpu options are:

 

GeForce RTX3080 GamingPro, 12GB GDDR6X, LHR
MSI GeForce RTX3080 Suprim X, 10GB GDDR6X, LHR
MSI GeForce RTX3080 Gaming Z Trio, 12GB GDDR6X, LHR
Gigabyte GeForce RTX3080 Gaming OC, 10GB GDDR6X, LHR

Please let me know if there is anything i missed or if you have any ideas,

 

For the monitor i was planning to go with the Alienware 38" AW3821DW, but if anyone has any better options please do recommend me something, I would like 2 monitors at least.

 

Thank you.

Id wait till 4000-series comes out and closed loop only makes sense with highest end parts. 3080 is easily air-cooled.

Also someone who has never built a pc would probably have a lot of trouble with doing a custom loop. Make sure and wait and you can get a GPU that is most likely a lot better than a 3080 for cheaper.
