Hey guys! I just finished making my final part list for my new build, and since this is my first time starting from scratch, is there anything you guys could recommend/help with bringing the price down? Also, im kinda a noob on watercooling stuff, so if there is anyone who knows a lot about that and could confirm i did everything right thatd be awesome xD

 

Thanks!

That build is a bit low-end for water cooling.

Intel Core i7-6700K | Corsair H105 | Asus Z170I PRO GAMING | G.Skill TridentZ Series 16GB | 950 PRO 512GB M.2

 

Asus GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB STRIX OC | BitFenix Prodigy (Black/Red) | XFX PRO Black Edition 850W

...jk...kind of...

Looks like a well put together build. Not a fan of Steel Series, but whatever floats your boat.

 

The only thing I would add is an SSD for the OS, can't live without them anymore.

 

*edit* There's no real need for watercooling that build unless you plan on doing a heavy OC.

LanSyndicate Build | i5-6600k | ASRock OC Formula | G.Skill 3600MHz | Samsung 850 Evo | MSI R9-290X 8GB Alphacool Block | Enthoo Pro M | XTR Pro 750w | Custom Loop |

Daily | 5960X | X99 Sabertooth | G.Skill 3000MHz | 750 NVMe | 850 Evo | x2 WD Se 2TB | x2 Seagate 3TB | Sapphire R9-290X 8GB | Enthoo Primo | EVGA 1000G2 | Custom Loop |

Game Box | 4690K | Z97i-Plus | G.Skill 2400MHz | x2 840 Evo | GTX 970 shorty | Corsair 250D modded with H105 | EVGA 650w B2 |

You could save some money by buying DDR3-1600 as opposed to 1866MHz.

Is there any real drawback to doing that? I dont feel like there would be but im already at 8gb which doesnt seem like much to begin with

I mainly did that cause i had some extra cash and it looks and sounds much better than normal air cooling lol, but i guess in this situation with a quiet-oriented case it shouldnt be much of an issue
