Air vs water cooling for the following build:
*ARC 647 Gaming Case
*Intel Core I5 4670k
*NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 4gb
*750 Watt - Corsair CX750
Water cooling seems like a lot of work, i would prefer air cooling, but if water cooling is really worth it for this built ill be ok, i juste need a guide on how to handle water cooling

The problem with iBuyPower is that you never really know what you are getting.What is your TOTAL budget? Lets start this all over.
Just trying to help you NOT make a bad decision.
My budget for the desktops would be around $1000-$1200, I will use it for gaming mostly, I liked ibuypower because you could choose what you want in your desktop and they'll ship it to you all build in and they're also having a november sale which gives me a chunk of money off, and what do you mean that you don't know what you're getting?

Right, so this below leaves you with a much better build and known QUALITY components.
If you want to drop some cash of then go for the GTX760 or a cheaper cooler.
The motherboard is A LOT better than the Z87A G41 crap that iBuyPower offers.
This obviously includes Windows too.
The RAM is FASTER and better than the price iBuyPower options for.
Sooo see what I mean? Even paying someone 50$ to build it would make this a lot more worth it.

Hmm, where can I get a system like that built? And also I was researching lately and found Ironside, are you familiar with that company? It's not very popular but I've read some positive things about them and nothing negative.

Never heard of them.Do you have a local computer repair shop? Sure they would do it for a small fee?
Otherwise its time to learn.
We can post you some guides and are here to help you through the process.
Hell I would even skype with you to help out.
In actually am ok with building and I'm kinda pumped to do it, its just that my dad is paying for everything and he's afraid if i build it ill mess up and make the money go to waste
so I'm trying to convince him now

Not at that budget. You would need to add another graphics card. BUT if you get a card with more RAM, then it will be better.
Either one of these 2.
Same budget :

That cooler compares to an H100 which is much better. That H60 really is a waste of money.
