Watercooling 101

Hey folks! So. Noob-Alert. I'm considering getting into water cooling but I'm unsure about assembly and parts. So, basically, I'm asking for a parts list and and a good instructional video/or just some way to show me how to assemble it.

Your Hardware doesn't require a custom loop or any water cooling at all I do not recommend you water cool. I recommend you air cool, a hyper 212 Evo or a CRYORIG H7. I do understand the appeal of water cooling so I will help you out. Like The Glenlivet said get yourself an AIO here is a good one to get https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019EXSSBG/?tag=pcpapi-20: If you are not afraid to spend a little more look at this one by EKWB:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAC8W5SB2261&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Liquid+%2F+Water+Cooling-_-9SIAC8W5SB2261&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5fqo_ae12AIVkrrACh3AHw_tEAQYASABEgKL0PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds This water block has see-thru tubes so you can die the water and make it any color you want.

Agreed.  Can you verify what hardware you want to watercool?  An 8350K would go well with an AIO.

This is my current rig but i'll be going to an i7-8700K in a month or so.

For that youd want a pretty good aio or air cooler. Be quiet dark rock (pro) 3. Noctua nhd15 are my air cooler recommendations. Also recommend artic mx-4. When you get a 1080 or better (as well as the 8700k) then it would be in the more beneficial place to watercool.

Currently, I have a bequiet! Pure Rock 150W Cooler so I'm not necessarily looking for an upgrade. Just kinda wanting to know more about water cooling and possible switching (yes, mainly for aesthetics)
