I would love it if anyone can answer my questions
1. I've picked a water cooler from Cosair, will I need to add that extra 2 fans I included in my list?
2. Does my GPU go with my build? Or do I need a better on?
3. Does my power supply have enough slots for me to plug in all the parts I have on the list?
THANKS!
