I updated my msg, should I change it for an x52 watercooling?

If you want to go for AIO (watercooling) then go for 240mm or larger. Otherwise stick to air. For your fans since your front panel isn’t visible it won’t look as pretty if you have RGB fans. Still noticeable but it’s your choice. If I were you I’d probably get a RGB hub thing like the Lighting Node Pro from Corsair or HUE+ from NZXT. They both come with 4 RGB strips that look pretty cool. As for the fans, you could get decent non Rgb fans and buy RGB fans later.

It looks pretty good. Although I must warn you that 8700k’s can get pretty hot but it will depend on your luck with the silicon lottery. What do you plan to use this PC for as well as your monitor specs?

1080p 75hz, better to go with Ryzen? No extra cooler and buy better monitor?

Are you gonna do any video editing or any of that cpu related work? If not you could get a “worse” cpu and save money for other parts of the pc. You could try to find a 1440p monitor if you want to get a worse cpu because the higher the resolution the less cpu power is required. The 1070Ti would be good at getting 60+ on 1440p.

Is ATX cheaper?

I don’t think sobecause more surface area meaning more materials being used. As for the PC I think you should be fine with the Ryzen 5. If you wanna overclock then get a better cpu cooler in the future but if you don’t wanna overclock you could get a less expensive mobo and save some money there. You won’t always get 144hz on 1440p but it’ll be better than 60 :P
