Hello!
I'm building a gaming PC and would be grateful if anyone could check my list of components and give me some feedback.
Is it a good setup, would you change anything?
I would like to be able to add an additional GTX 780 later on.
What about the water cooling, I've checked some guides and I realize it's a bit tricky, is it worth it?
The main objective is to keep the noise levels to a minimum.
I do have som previous knowledge of building computers but never with water cooling.
It would be fun to try it out though.
I'm not super concerned with cost (as long as the performance measure up to the price).
Oh, and I'm also thinking about adding some LED strips, any suggestions?
