Hey everyone, I'm about a month or 2 from completing my FIRST PC build. I would most certainly appreciate it if anyone could give me ANY advise, or recommend me better components. Some of the parts i have already purchased and do not plan on upgrading them unless it is essential or for a few bucks more i could get a better part.
My main reason for posting is to ask about a CPU cooler. I've done my homework and i think liquid cooling would be better just in case i decide to overclock (probably will) . Now with that said i don't know which liquid cooler to get. And also someone told me if I'm going to use liquid cooling on my CPU then i should get it connected to my video card also. True? Should i?
Also was wondering about a fan controller, would it be necessary to get one if I'm getting liquid cooling? I know the liquid cooler will do its job so i would like to think a fan controller is pointless..? I'm not too sure though. I'm by no means a expert, but I'm learning slowly.
If you feel the need to recommend a part or give me advise PLEASE do not hold back. I know you learn from mistakes but this is $800+ PC building and I wanna make as few mistakes as possible. Thank you to all.
