Okay, I did my research and I put together this build. I'm looking for any input on what to add and whats not okay to have.
I plan on overclocking by the way. I want to put in a water cooling system and water block inside my case but I need some help and suggestions on how to do so and where to find and which is better.
Also I need a monitor any suggestion that would be great for my build?
Do I need a sound card?
I watched a review on the Asus Z97-A they were showing that I can setup profiles for the fan speeds for each exe I'm running so would that make a fan controller obsolete?
Also did I pick the right SSD?
This build is for mainly gaming maybe with a little video/photoshop editing for my Youtube channel.
