Did I do it right? Final check.

[Gregz The Great]

After a few months of planning, I believe I've come up with the parts to my upcoming gaming computer, along with monitor.

The question is, did I do it right?

Specifically, I'm buying a Phantom 410, which I have been informed has 3 built in fans. I'll be removing the top one for the fitting on the H100i's radiator with 2 Corsair fans. I assume the airflow will be adequate without the need for more fans?

PLEASE NOTE: I am aware I didn't add a PSU or a GPU to the list, as I already own both. A Corsair CS750M PSU and a Gigabyte GTX 780ti Windforce Edition GPU.

Because of the GPU's incredibly large size, I'll be removing the modular drive bay for the sake of fitting, which will also take away the ability to mount a fan on said bay. Will this effect airflow to a critical level or will I be fine with the liquid cooler and stock fans as it is? I cannot spend more than the amount I have already invested, this is literally all the money I have.

Without furthur ado, here's the list:

If there is anything I can do to improve, or you have any suggestions, please, feel free to suggest. I am totally open to all constructive opinions. This is only planning, obviously.

I'll be using this computer mainly for gaming and music production in late September, possibly the odd video render here, maybe not at all.

All in all, if I were to buy the listed parts above, and combine them with my already-owned PSU and GPU, will I be on my way to a fantastic experience, or am I about to dive into a pit of wasted money and efforts?

Anyway, thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

So this is basically my pc in a different case  I have that processor, that cooler, that ram (but 4x4gb and 2400mhz) and an msi 780ti I even have a 250gb 840 evo and the same AF120 fans

 

I even have a corsair PSU but I got the rm850 instead

 

Build looks good to me

 

The performance is KILLER by the way. It stoms on every game max settings, I have yet to see anything choke it

Looks fine to me.

Looks sweet. Good luck on the build.

Ah hah, sounds like amazing fun to me. For too long have I suffered playing crappy games at 20 fps lowest settings with constant crashing, now I can feel what it's like to come home after a hard day of "life" to escape again, and again, in perfect quality.

I do have another question though. Liquid or air cooling? I have heard the H100i is magnificent for performance, but is risky when it comes to leaking. I also hear that air cooling is cheaper, and can pull off similar temps. What are your thoughts?

Just ordered my h100i, honestly I havnt heard of any leaking issues, all the high end reviews sites give if fantastic write ups, air is cheaper yes, I just really want to go water because I have never done it before

Alright, in that case I'll go with it too. I want to ensure good performance, and it looks like it's reliable overall, unless you use the tubes as a slingshot I doubt I'll see any leaks *touch wood*

Anyway, thank you. Have a nice life.
