It's not any quieter than the stock cooler and it's up to you how important aesthetics are. You're probably better off putting the extra money towards a better psu and a future graphics card upgrade. 

CX450 would be better: https://www.amazon.in/Corsair-CP-9020120-NA-CX450-Power-Supply/dp/B01MTZ96RU/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1539490766&sr=8-1&keywords=cx450

If budget is tight for some reason, a MWE would be a bit better: https://www.amazon.in/Cooler-Master-MWE-450-Watt-Supply/dp/B075F7VZG2/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1539490844&sr=1-3&keywords=cooler+master+power+supply

Hello,

 

I am selecting parts of my build.. (51060 INR ~ 593 USD)

Many of my friends say that Air cooling is the best...

But I don't think air cooling is the best...

 

If you have the Cooler Master MasterLiquid 120L RGB,

Is it worth it?

 

Thanks...………….

At this price point, air cooling is best. Getting a noctua dual tower or something would beat that water cooler, or perhaps a dark rock 4. 120mm radiator is nothing much.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Nope not worth it. Even the best 120mm air cooler struggle to do the same as big air coolers, while the CM ML120 is one of the worst liquid coolers out there.
