My First Build - High End

[Gazza732]

Hello everyone.

I am planning my first build and have already decided on parts. It is going to be high end designed for performance. I will be using it for content creation e.g. Photo/video editing etc., gaming and general use. Is there any advice that I should take on board before building it regarding building or other parts of the process? Using an online calculator tool it estimated that it would use 850-900 watts (just with parts in the plan; I will be upgrading and adding other parts over its life) so is the a minimum amount of fans and radiators I will need full custom water cooling or AIO water cooling (minimum for both)? Any other useful bits of info welcome. I am aware there may be bits I should have Sid here but unsure so please ask if needed.

There is a lifetime of things people could tell you about that stuff but "I" have one thing to say. "Watch the temps".

Yes definitely I am going to monitor and optimise them using information and research that I get. Will be finding the best settings etc for it.
