This is my current build plan. I have the case and am doing custom watercooling. Leave a comment if you think this build is good, if you want to suggest a part trade off, or if you want to chastise my choice and suggest and entirely new build. The choice is yours and I will appreciate it all. Thanks! :)

I see you choose Corsair SP120...I assume you're gonna use them for airflow.

The SP series (not sure, do some research) are optimized for pressure, not airflow.

If you're want fans from Corsair for air flow (case intake and exaust) you're gonna do much better with Corsair AF series.

 

A review Linus did a while ago:

 

SP series:

  

AF series:

  

 

I repeat, I'm not sure, do some research.

Hope that helps :D

It's very good, but I would spare money on the gpu. The 780ti is mighty overpriced when compared to a 780 or r9 290. If you get an r9 290 you can spare more than 250$ on the build, which is not shabby at all, and the difference is barely noticeable particularly at high resolutions. I'm a bit perplexed on why you are getting aftermarket thermal compound and not an aftermarket cooler. If you're keeping the stock one you don't need extra thermal compound.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
