Noob 1st PC

[CharlieMR]

Hi guys,

 

I am a first time pc builder and I would like to know your guys' opinion and tricks to make sure I don't fry my PC.

 

Here is my PC Partpicker build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/P2M4D8

 

My plan is to watercool the rig with 1 EK CoolStream Dual 280 (16 FPI) and 2 EK CoolStream Sinlge 140 (16FPI) radiators with 4 Corsair SP 240mm (Blue LED) fans. The tubing would be PrimoFLex transparent flexible tubing (from Primochill) 7/16ID and 5/8 OD and the fittings EK-ACF (Compression Fittings) 7/16ID and 5/8 OD. For the pump and res I planned a AlphaCool Eisbecher D5 250mm Plexi res and a AlphaCool VPP655 D5 pump. For the water dye: Mayhems Non-Stain Blue water dye and Mayhems Biocide.

 

As for the graphics card I am waiting for the new RX 480 8Gbs and I dont know yet what I should be looking for in terms of waterblocks for CPU and GPU, any reccomendations?

 

Thank you very much guys =D

Are you sure you want to do custom watercooling for your first time? It's going to add to the complexity. But if you're up to the challenge, it will be satisfying in the end.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?????????????????????

 

 

On topic, 3 memory sticks doesn't seem to be the best idea.

And if you're going to custom loop your PC, what do you need the H100 for?

Wait, is this your first PC you've ever built? Going straight for the YOLO full waterloop on your first build isn't always the greatest idea
