Hey everyone, thanks for the read!

building a new PC and I just wanted to post what I have picked out here and get some help finishing out the build. Mainly need help with the motherboard / liquid cpu cooling option. Some things like the hard drive, SSD and power supply I already had. Willing to upgrade the power supply if need be. If you notice any incompatibility let me know!

Solution
Intel's latest socket series (socket 1200/Comet Lake) . The stock cpu cooler that comes with this cpu does just fine. The RTX cards are expected to be in stock within the next few weeks.

Not familiar with the term socket? What are you referring to?
the CPU is in the parts list it’s a cooler master m2 pro 650 w.
Im getting a new monitor soon. My plan is to play at 4K or 2560x1440 when I can. But at least 144hz at 1080. Thanks for the response!
