Question might be getting a computer built but wondering what else might be needed

[JerrywB]

I would attempt the build myself if I were going just air cooling, but I've never messed with liquid cooled and don't even know what all is involved.(and since I don't trust me to do it I'll let microcenter do the work) My question is that they list water cooling accessories and I have no clue of what all is needed. I'm gonna try two ways to list what is in the build to be legible here.

I would ditch the BX500 SSD. If I were in your shoes, I'd get a small capacity SSD(500GB) for the OPS, app's and launchers. The larger capacity SSD's can act as the game library drive, provided this system is meant for gaming. As for the PSU you don't need a 1KW unit, although it does offer a lot more headroom, you can get away with an 850W unit.

How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel...

It's the same as installing an air cooler, just follow the instructions laid out in the manual.

The AIO comes with all the necessary hardware and thermal paste pre-applied to the pump block.

same price and better build quality .

as pointed out you can get away with 850w unit ,
but for the sake of future upgrades 1K unit is better
