That's a first. Lol every time I post a thread someone says change and then change that...

Good but honestly i would change the PSU to a 650 G2 because its fully modular for better looks

Yeah but for the same price you could have a fully modular psu so why not...

Cant really find any issues with it, I just wouldn't bother with AIO water cooling as you can get similar performance for less.

I don't know why pcpartpicker is saying that it's $140 but on newegg Canada it's actually only about $110 and the g2 version is $130

Ok thanks

Just being picky, but I'd switch to the EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G2. Tighter ripple and voltage regulation.

Well air coolers have lots of compatibility issues and then on top of that they look like absolute shit. The liquid cooler is good performance wise, I know it can get noisy but I don't mind and also the cooler has rgb on the logo.

You increased the price by $300... I have a budget of $2000

Depends what cooler you buy, the Cryorig R1 Universal would work with almost anything. I do agree that AIO water coolers do look better, just looking at it from a practical perspective.

Yes but I'm looking to get the most out of my CPU and for that I'll need a liquid cooler. Although air coolers can match the performance of a liquid cooler, it is not a consistent way of keeping the temps down. And also the cooler will act as an intake in my case as I only have two exhaust fans that come with the case.

Liquid cooling doesnt automatically mean better performance, look at the Noctua D-15. It matches (And beats) many AIO water coolers for less. With the money you save on the cooler, you could then buy 2 fans (Although you you would only need to have 3 at most, more would be a waste and do almost nothing, ill link a video about this).

It was just an example, just check the coolers size against your ram's.

i think your build looks really good. i would not change a single thing except maybe get the 29" monitor for a bit more... it gets a lot more height

I really want to but it's a $100 more and I've already used up my budget.
