Mostly looks pretty good.

You might get some frowning at the liquid cooler.

Yeah lmao, mainly getting it for the aesthetic.. I was almost just gonna go with air cooling because all the aios I was seeing were $150-250 and then I saw this one so I went for it

What the-! Why is that so cheap!? I didn't see that at first.

AIO price is not what it appears. Look at it this way:
-AIOs have finite lifespan, so you pay 70+ bucks every few years or so.
-Air cooler may compel you to spend extra on case fans that an AIO would normally fill, but you replace it when you get tired of looking at it, or you buy a new case later that it won't fit in.

I guess it matters little if one has a job. If one doesn't, AIOs are not as good of an investment.

Im a working man so I feel it’s worth it, I also replaced the 7900xt with a 6950xt because I feel the performance is exceptional with a 6950xt at 1440p and it’s $200 cheaper.. if there is a better GPU I can get for around 650-700 I’m all ears but just wondering!

When I was all excited, I was talking about the 360mm AIO.
