Greetings everyone. It's important to understand this will be my first ever MicroATX build and also my very first water-cooled build. The price of this build is relatively low so I'm sure there's something I'm missing or doing wrong as I cannot imagine it being so low in price. It's also important to note I will be making purchases strictly through Newegg in Canada - so Canadian prices are very important. I will be using this build primarily for computer programming, game streaming, gaming in general, video editing, etc.

Is there anything I'm missing or some things that won't fit in the case I've selected? Is there stuff that could be better? My budget is ~$2000 Canadian.

Thank you very much for everyone who is willing to help and have a great evening.

That is an all-in-one CPU cooler. The computer isn't water cooled, just the CPU.

With your component choice you could easily turn this into a Mini-ITX system and make it a little smaller.

Occasionally you will see an all inclusive water cooled system, and that is the reason for Micro ATX, to get the room for radiators, pumps, and reservoirs. They cool the CPU, motherboard, GPU in those systems.

I don't think anyone can offer all the information possible. For computers you have to set yourself a goal and learn along the way, then try something else. Endless part choices lead to endless configurations and no one is going to have all the answers.

I tend to answer questions on topics I have some knowledge of and leave to others what I...

I already have an SSD to be used in this build at home. What do you mean not what you expected for water cooled? What were you expecting? Did I do something wrong? I'd like all the information possible as I am new to this. Thanks.
