I have built a few towers in the past and I am on my 3rd for myself. I wanted to get some community feedback on the hardware before I went farther. My computer is mostly for gaming and software development, which isn’t necessarily hardware intensive. One thing I am wanting to do with this PC is water cool it. I know it can be expensive, but I just got a new job, have a bit of extra cash, and I need a new fun project. This is my general idea of a parts list. Any feedback would be appreciate, especially if you have done water cooling with any of these components.
