Hi,

My current PC is 7 yrs old and start to become sluggish , so I am planning on a new build while wait for the graphic card available.

I did some research and come up with the build like this, looking for advices before start ordering parts.

Also would like to have some advice for case fan and UPS backup battery (for safety).

Will use current monitor(Acer Predator 2k), keyboard, mouse ,headphone and gtx1070 until 3080 is available.

Some considerations:
-It is my first time building PC with AIO and RGB. I am not die-hard on RGB just want to try something new. Considering ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 (ARGB or RGB) plus 4 case fan (ARGB orRGB ), but not sure if the case and motherboard can support them?
-the case seem to be able to fit 3+1 140mm fans, any advice on what to pick ?

The PC is mostly for web browsing and GAME(GW2, Genshin Impact). I guess some component maybe overkill , overall looking for reliability parts and forward compatibility.

Thanks!

Nice build.

Here's a case worth having a look at if you aren't dead set on that Phanteks.

https://www.newegg.com/black-lian-li-lancool-atx-mid-tower/p/2AM-000Z-00062
LIAN LI LANCOOL II MESH RGB WHITE Tempered Glass ATX Case - White $119.99

https://lian-li.com/product/lancool-ii-mesh-rgb/

And if it's in your budget I'd size up on your SSD. 1TB can fill up quick with the size of games these days. I'll use this PNY for an example.

https://www.newegg.com/pny-2tb-cs2130/p/0RN-002V-003B4
PNY CS2130 M.2 2280 2TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.3 3D NAND Internal SSD $249.99

Thanks for reply! That is a nice one too, I did not aware they have white rgb one.

Lancool seem to be slighty smaller body. If go by lancool, what would be recommend fan & aio allocation ? like 280 aio on top and 3*120 stock fan on front?

The case in the first vid is pretty much identical to the one in the link up above and the guy in the bottom vid says the same. First vid breaks it down pretty good.

Thanks for the advice! I will probably go by Phantek P500A due to Lianli's optional type-c.

Will pick a 2T ssd.
