Advice needed on new pc

[crissyfox]

So i am currently working on my next pc, and i am looking for any advice. its my first complete build, all my other computers have been either just upgrades, or prebuilts. There isnt a motherboard in the list as i plan on getting the maximus ix extreme once it releases. and the computer is going to be watercooled. Although pcpartpicker is nice it isnt perfect, so i appreciate any advice, and any potential issues i may run into.

Custom loop or AIO water cooling?

Why not a samsung 960? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Ykbkcf/samsung-960-evo-500gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-mz-v6e500

You might consider the EVGA G3 (Yeah, they exist) since you're buying new anyway for the PSU. The G2 is still really good though.

 

Everything else looks pretty good (Except the SSD as mentioned above).

Just change that SSD to a more recent, higher performance SSD. Like a 960 Evo.

 

And $150 for a 2TB HDD is horribly overpriced. There are 2TB drives for $70 Edit pcpp has it wrong this is a 6TB. But don't get a 6TB for a personal computer, you'll never fill it and it will eventually die; doing the drive of the capacity you need and replacing them as they die is preferable.
