Case is nzxt s340. I know this is a noob question, but i want to know everything before i buy pc. Btw where i should mount ml240l in this case?
 
Solution
You'll have higher vrm temps with water cooling.

Really not an issue on that board with a 1600, even at it's close to max 4ghz it still only pulls 100w.

What is an issue is the s340 is absolutely awful design wise for a 240mm aio.
The only place to fit it is im the front as an intake & the airflow is that stunted that

1. Ypull get higher temps than with a good tower air cooler
2. It'll inflate gpu temps monstrously.

Stick to a decent air cooler , 2 x 140mm front intake fans , & the 2 pre-fitted 120mm exhausts.
plenty for that ryzen with none of the negatives.
