changed the CPU and added water cooling

a 4770k will have no real performance gain over a 4690k in gaming, but water cooling will let you overclock the CPU more.

I have absolutely no idea how to do water cooling...

and I don't feel like accidentally breaking my PC before using it

Thanks though!

don't worry. it's a pre-assembled water cooler. they are very easy to install.

Here's a video by corsair explaining the process

The memory kit is not optimal when using a Hyper 212 EVO. The EVO has 32 mm clearance under the fan (which overhangs the 1st memory slot) in its nominal configuration. I would suggest going with a lower profile memory kit but it isn't strictly necessary.
