So I am a first time PC builder and I want to make a PC, I got it from a youtube video(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M30fAvrpj18&index=21&list=WL). The part list is here(I made some adjustments): https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LB8BXH. I want to know if I should put an NZXT Hue+ in it or keep as is. I also want to know if I can put in an NZXT Watercooler in it. As you know I am a first-time pc builder and I want to see if you have any tips or something I should change/add to the build(I am very flexible on price). Can I put a coffee lake CPU in this motherboard? Also, what is a good widescreen 21:9 monitor?
Thanks.

This would be my choice. If you can get the predator x34 screen, even better.

Damn, I forgot to add the elgato. Forgive the oversight.

My choice of strip mountings : 1 running in the bottom, 1 on the side view of radiator, 1 on the rear side view and 1 more to synergys the impact on rad or bottom. I would recommend you mount 1 aer fan in the rear and 1 in the bottom along with the pre installed fan (that makes 1 aer, 1 pre installed in the bottom) mount the lepa fans in the front. Rgb spoils the honeycomb effect unfortunately.

The lepa in the front should be on the outside of the x62 rad in a push pull config. On a side note, u can also replace the standard fans in the inside of the rad for aer 140 rgb fans in push pull.

Note that the monitor link to Amazon is refurbished and the ones in newegg and b&h are new.

If you want, you can replace the gpu with a Asus Strix for mobo, gpu, ram lightning effect.
