Hello, I recently got a deal on a pc during the holidays. I got a cyberpower instant <Mod Edit> Gm9910. my current pc specs are as follows:

System Summary: AMD IET9910 + FREE Shipping + Next Day RushGaming Chassis: CyberPowerPC ONYXIA (White Color) Mid-Tower Gaming Case w/ USB 3.0, Front & Side Tempered Glass (Included)
Extra Case Fans: 3X Apevia Dual addressable digital RGB 120mm Fan 3Pins (Included)

CPU / Processor Cooling Fan: Cooler Master i71C CPU Air Cooler Anodized Black Aluminum fins and 120mm Master Fan (Included)Motherboard: GIGABYTE B450M DS3H WIFI MICRO ATX ARGB USB 3.0 2 PCIE X16 4 SATA3 1 M.2 SATA/PCIE (Included)
RAM / System Memory: Crucial Ballistix 16GB (8GBx2) DDR4/3000MHz MEMORY (Included)Video Card: GeForce® GTX 1660
GPU: Msi Gtx 1660
and for memory i have a western digital 500gb m.2 ssd and a 1tb firecuda solid sate hybrid drive.

I was wondering if it's even worth liquid cooling? for better performance? I think it was a pretty good deal for only $749 exactly however i plan on upgrading the ram. the liquid coolers i want all have 240mm radiators and the only spot i have left to put it is on the top of my case. however i only have 1 large vent left, would it be okay to mount it there?

I dont see any benefit in liquid cooling that low-tdp processor. If noise is an issue you will be better and cheaper off with a quality air cooler like the Scythe Fuma for example.
