Upgrade Options?

[Lavish]

So, I recently created my build, and my specs are in my sig. Since I was on a budget I couldn't fit in a watercooler when I first built my rig, but now I have gotten a little extra cash and decided to pick up a thermal-take water 3.0 Ultimate 360mm AIO so I can get some overclocking done. My question is, I have an H440, so should I put my RAD on top, or in the front of my case? I wondered because hot air rises, so would the hot air effect any cooling potential?Thanks in advance.

You sig says "Saving for dream rig."

 

Your PC is my dream rig (except that 970, ew.) Also, I have 16GB RAM already..

The whole "heat rising thing" isn't really an issue on a scale like this.

Your rig is pretty baller. Just pick up a r9 390 and your good to go

Okay, so would you say the top then?

However you decide looks best and works with the way you're moving air through the case

Generally it's better if you put it in the top so you can have it as an exhaust, as if it's in the front, it will be blowing warm air over your other components like the gpu and motherboard.

 

You could put it in the front as an exhaust, but it won't be as ideal, as on the top as an exhaust.

Meh, I guess all I'm missing is like $700 in upgrades. (i5, 390, mobo)
