The team delta also looks pretty dope and is about 15 bucks cheaper.

Go forces the kraken if you are going for aio. Or go air cooling with a coolermaster master air maker or v8 gts.

The inwin fans are aura sync compatible. So ur mobo, ram, and Inwin fans will be in sync. I would suggest you to mount them at the top as exhaust.

The aer rgb fans can only be mounted on the outside since they rgb only one side of the fan, silly I know, the kraken has 4 fan headers so no worries there. Mount the remaining aer fan in the rear as exhaust. And that's safe cuz u need that rear fan to pull out air at full speed at not run at the rad speed if you connect it with a splitter.

That grand power is not bad but also not good. The Dps g is a good model.
 
Solution
Can someone please help with the set up of the PC. I have all of my hardware in the PC now, but no idea on how to connect everything.

The 4 SP 120 case fans alone have 4 4 pins and 4 3 pins. I think i know how to connect these. (4 pin LED goes into the SP120 controller that came with the case and the 3 pins goes into 2 2-way case fan splitter.

How do I connect the cooler wires? The pump has like 2 wires, and each of the fans has two wires as well.

Also any tips on how to hide all of these wires? Having an all glass case is great, but I've no clue on how to hide so many wires. Thanks!
 
Also question on how to get the RGB to work together.

I've 4 SP120s on the corsair controller. The pump and the radiator fans is another set of RGBs. The RAM is also RGB. The PSU is even RGB.

Any ideas on how to make all of them work together?
 


The manual of the fans, case and motherboard should list these connections. The CPU cooler manual will also have how to connect these wires. If I recall correctly, one of the wires goes into the CPU Fan Header and another for a Pump Connector. I have not built a system with RGB before so I cannot help you there.

An all glass case has the single problem of it being hard to hide wires in. I would wrap the wires around the support legs, or use cable trunkets to group them together.

 
The corsair rgb fans have 2 wires if I am not wrong.
The rgb wires go to the hub like you said and the 3 pin power connectors can be powered through 3 pin molex from psu. Each molex can handle 2 fans.

I would advice you to stick with the coolermaster fans itself cuz they will be 4 pin. The pump or radiator will be have inbuilt fan headers you can connect to, so that the aio can control fan speed as needed.

You would be having a cpu aio fan header in ur mobo. That's where ur aio 4 pin header should go.
