That is my new PC, I have already ordered everything and am getting it in about a week. I would just like to ask people how to basically put it together.
I would also like to know how liquid cooling works and if i need to buy the " Liquid" for it.

absolutely watch any basic build on youtube. assembling the basic components is very simple, i have no doubt you'll be able to adapt what you see to the components you have. i also recommend linus tech tips. i'll also add jaystwocents for watercooling videos. thats who i watched to get the confidence to build my own loop.

i see you have an all in one water cooler there for your cpu. that is literally "all in one" and you just mount it to the cpu and mount the radiator in the case with its fans. done. it already has all the components it needs, including the liquid, in it. only if you were building your own custom loop, you would need to buy a liquid for that.

as for how it works? a water loop has 4 main components. the resorvior, the pump, the block, and the radiator. the resorvior holds the extra liquid, the pump pushes the liquid through the system, the block allows the heat to transfer from whatever component its on to the liquid, and the radiator allows the heat to transfer from the loop to the air. the main purposes of this is improving cooling performance by having more cooling surface area in the radiator than an air cooling's heat sync would allow, less noise as radiator fans can be run slower and still perform fine, or maybe just because you like the way it looks.

this is really a big subject, and i dont want to throw a wall of text at you. any specific questions?

You bought a locked CPU with a motherboard meant for overclocking and an aftermakret cooler. Was this on purpose?

When I ordered my stuff I meant to get a 6700k but i ordered the wrong item. I am returning the 6700 for the 6700k.
