Good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for stopping by.

 

I would greatly appreciate it if you could double-check my selections to see if there are any issues with it as it is my first time building a pc on my own.

 

The build focuses on getting the lowest temp whilst gaming as currently i have a r9 290 which runs at 86 degrees Celsius on Dota 2 and CSGO.

A couple of concerns that I have:

 

1) How likely is it that there will be a leak in the liq. cooling system?

2) If I only play it on the weekends (will be staying in on campus during the weekdays), will it affect the liq. cooling system in anyway?
3) What monitor would you recommend?
4) Any improvements to the build that you would make?

 

 

Thank you very much for your time.

SeaSonic SSR-650FM is a better psu choice. SeaSonic FOCUS Plus 650 Gold and EVGA SuperNOVA 650 are also excellent choices, fully modular but more expensive.

 

Windows 10 OEM license terms do not permit use in DIY builds. One is supposed to get a retail version.

 

Build looks pretty good.

 

AIO leaks are fairly rare.

System looks excellent, though you might be able to get the 860 Evo for slightly cheaper, as Samsung has transitioned to the new model. Newegg has the 860 Evo for roughly 80USD for the 256 Gb model.

 

AIO leaks are rare, but they can happen. If you're worried, you could grab a high-end air cooler that'll work great. There's even RGB options. (Ryzen 2nd Gen really doesn't need an AIO.)

Good work on the build list. Thanks for considering Seagate. We're here if you come across any questions on the HDD.
