Hi guys I saw a couple other threads about this sort of thing but not a definitive answer on which one is actually better, maybe it doesn't matter but,

should i unplug the whole thing from the surge protector or leave it just in the off state?

also i have seen some talk about liquid cooler placement and this, i have mine place in the front of my case , the tubes do a large bend not 90 degrees sharp more circular than that, and kind of go upwards towards the heatstink pump/cpu... i can post a pic if someone thinks this is of concern

sorry for the lame question I just don't want anything to happen to my new build!

EDIT: here is my build
i7 7700k at 4.8 ghz
asus rog 1080 ti 11 gb
16 gb corsair lpx vengeance (3200 mhz)
corsair h155i liquid cooling
asus rog z270f mobo
samsung 960 evo 250gb ssd
evga 650w G3 psu
 
Solution
Question - For a 2 week absence, do you unplug everything else in the house?
Answer - No you do not.
(Nor should you)

Your PC is not a delicate little flower.
You can if you want.
