Budget (including currency):  2000 euros

Country: Cyprus - E.E

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Single Player mostly games and working at Lightroom / Photoshop / Davinci Resolve 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 2 HHD, need input on the rest of the PC 1444p, 60Hz ++

I had ASUS products before and is my go-to for graphics card and motherboard. I know is a bit more expensive but it is more reliable. 

I like having at least 2 of the same brand on the pc like motherboard-graphics card, power supply-ram, and if possible case-cooler (OCD).

Everything will be bought from computer universe without Vat and shipped to Cyprus. That's why I can't go to a British shop (import fees etc)

Now besides your input, I have some questions.

1)Shall I replace the be quiet! Pure Loop 360 for The ARCTIC Liquid or any other AIO you suggest since it says that it requires a separately available mounting adapter.

2)In any AIO do I have to refill the liquid that's inside in a few years?

3)In terms of the case I'm between Be quiet! Pure Base 500DX or the one in the link or is anyone else that is good?

4)What it says about the motherboard and bios update, Does that mean there is a chance for me to not be able to boot the pc because of the wrong bios version?

Thank your time,

M

Hey, I've looked at the build and here's some of my answers about the questions you have:

 

1. Yeah I think you should replace it and I think the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360mm is good.

2. Since AiOs are closed loops, you dont need to replace the liquid or refill it. 

3. I think you should consider the Phanteks Eclipse G360a or the Lian Li Mesh 2 but the Be quiet! is good too. Personally I prefer the Phanteks but its your choice they are all pretty good. #

 

Heres my full list of changes, and I keep your same-brand OCD in mind (as much as I could):

Everything I say is true, unless it's false.

The problem I just found there is no way to update the Asus motherboard so that I can be able to boot up my pc. It needs the newest bios update. And on top of that lot's of videos on youtube say that there is many issues with Asus and 13th gen. I might need to choose Gigabyte or Asrock. As for the graphics card 3070Ti comes some what cheap at 627.53€.

Also the corsair one is a bit faster compare to G.Skill  

Corsair Specs:

32 GB RAM, 2x 16 GB Kit
DDR5, 6200 MHz (PC5-49600U)
DIMM 288 Pin, CL36
schwarz
Intel XMP 3.0 zertifiziert

I would just get an air cooler and save your money for a better GPU.

Just get something that looks the way you want it to, has a relatively open-air intake, and has fans on the front.  Case performance number really don't matter much at all.

It's a lot healthier to not allow yourself to engage in these behaviors.  Therapy is best, but a common practice for OCD is exposure response-prevention (ERP) therapy, that focuses on triggering situations that would normally cause obsessive thought or compulsive behavior and not engaging in those things.  Having something like a mixed brands system around, especially when branding is hardly visible or not visible (things like nmves and mobos) and just letting it be and/or not being able to chagne it may be helpful in training yourself away from ruminating on those kinds of obsessive thoughts.

I get it but it's more satisfying? no? and on another topic my problem is on the CPU for now, and not on AIO or air cooler see what I type for the other person

Satisfying to a part of your psyche that you probably do not want to be reinforcing.

Do you already have the 13th gen stuff?  I'm not well versed in that, but if you can't get it to boot you'll either have to get your hands on a 12th gen chip to install the update or get a different motherboard.  Getting a b760 board instead would probably be cheaper and you'd not have this issue, as there is really no point in z series motherboards anymore anyway.
