Never heard of that gpu block but the rest seems good

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Also, I slightly have a doubt regarding the material mono block that came along with mother board and the GPU block specified. Mono Block has nickel base and the GPU has copper, would there be an issue over a period of time using such two different metals in my loop ? Also, should we use Petra's Tech PT Nuke Cu Concentrated Biocide with this loop ?

looks good but idk about those quick disconnect from ek 

i cant speak about the quality of any of them but i would get some more solid looking once like from koolance or alphacool. ek's quick disconnect look way to plasticy for my taste

"You know it'll clock down as soon as it hits 40°C, right?" - "Yeah ... but it doesnt hit 40°C ... ever  😄"

 

GPU: MSI GTX1080 Ti Aero @ 2 GHz (watercooled) CPU: Ryzen 5600X (watercooled) RAM: 32GB 3600Mhz Corsair LPX MB: Gigabyte B550i PSU: Corsair SF750 Case: Hyte Revolt 3

I have heard xspc does have pretty good quality (understood from a small online research I have done). But, koolance is a good option as well.

well yeah  as i said havent tried any of them but i just would trust anything over plastic.

other than that idk maybe think about temperature sensors or in-line filter maybe? kill coil? you really have the necessities from hear you can basically add on however much you want
