Hey everyone!
Just looking for any reason I shouldn't buy these parts for my Cyberpowerpc custom pc build.
I'm planning on using this pc to play games and to multitask a lot at 2560x1440, also planning to add a second monitor later on. I made sure to choose all named brand parts as I've read a lot of bad things about the part they give you otherwise. Every piece seemed to get good reviews on amazon, I'm mainly worried about how they will all work together.
Going to give my explanation for some of my choices that may be iffy.
So the main things I'm not sure about yet are the case itself, and how the finished product will fit and function in the case with these fans; But anything you have to say will provide more info for me to help me make my decisions.
I copied the "details" from the shopping cart on their website and removed "freebie" items or things I didn't buy that said "none".
I'm going to head to bed and I'll be making the choice on whether to tweak it more, or buy it as I have it built below tomorrow.
Ok! Thank you for reading and thank you in advance for any advice or words of wisdom!
Total Price: $1,933.00 (before tax I think)
EDIT- Based on Isokolon's advice I have made these changes:
Removed the Vigor iSURF II Hard Disk Drive Cooling System
Swapped my GPU from an ASUS Turbo GeForce® GTX 1070 Gaming 8GB GDDR5 (Pascal)[VR Ready]
to an MSI GeForce® GTX 1070 Gaming X 8GB GDDR5 (Pascal) [VR Ready]
Swapped my PSU from a 750 Watts - Corsair CX750M CX Series Modular 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
to a 750 Watts - Corsair RMi Series RM750i 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Fully Modular Ultra Quiet Power Supply
New total price with these changes: $2,106.00 (They have been changing the price of some pieces)
Here is a part picker link close to the cyberpowerpc build currently: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/34KrYr
If anyone has anything else to add let me know!
EDIT 2- Ok I bought the PC, now we wait and hope that nobody working on or transporting my computer is in a terrible hurry.

- I don't want to build it myself mainly because I take a lot of time to do things. I've spent easily 50 hours researching this past week about what parts I want and the pros and cons of all the things; I would see myself spending way too long to put a computer together, and I would be irrationally scared that I would break something or reduce it's maximum life expectancy.
- Cyberpowerpc has had some real horror stories, but they all seem to be from 2014 or 2015; also a lot of them seem to be because of knockoff parts which shouldn't happen here. Building with these specs on other sites either costs 200-400$ more or it doesn't let me choose as many thing to be sure of what companies all the parts are coming from. So I'm planning on taking this chance on cyberpowerpc and hopefully it works out.
- I wanted a better CPU cooler than the stock air one, but anything bigger than that can be heavy enough to cause problems during shipping from what I've read, I think the water cooling will ship safer. I'm not ruling out overclocking in the future, but for now I'll just have overkill fans and cooling in general the colder the better right?
- I also know that an i7 6700k is overkill for gaming and the price would be better put into a 1080, but I feel like it would be easier for me to add another 1070 myself down the line than if I want to play a game that actually uses hyper-threading and I'm sitting there with my overclocked i5 6600k.
- Speaking of overkill I'm putting in 32 GB of ram and I head that's more than I need, however when I bought a computer 5 years ago 8GB was higher than recommended iirc and now I can hit that easily with the right games.
So the main things I'm not sure about yet are the case itself, and how the finished product will fit and function in the case with these fans; But anything you have to say will provide more info for me to help me make my decisions.
