I'm new to PC building and I want to build a PC. I'm pretty much completely set on what I want (in case you want to know here is the list https://pcpartpicker.com/user/TheMrMunch/saved/ ) There is a sale for the case I want (Deepcool Genome 2) and it they threw in a power supply (550W 80Plus Gold) (Here's the link to the case https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811853041 ). I wouldn't be building the PC until later in the year. My question is should I get it on sale now with the power supply or wait. Would the AIO cooler in the case lose cooling fluid over time? Also is the power supply enough to suit the needs of my computer and is the it any good? Thanks for the help and if you have any suggestions reply!

A $1300 PC with no SSD seems odd to me. Don't you want this thing to be lightning fast for more than just the few days after you install Windows?

 

You're buying a $200 case for a system where that's about a fifth of the cost. Can you step it down to an H440 or something much less expensive? If you haven't gotten the NEX yet, pass on that too as the G3 should be at about the same price point.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
