Hey there guys,

I'm upgrading my pc, and I'm just asking the community if there would be any bottle necking or anything like that with my parts. I put them all in PCPartPicker but I'm just asking the community just incase of anything I should upgrade etc. I was also thinking about liquid cooling, but I have no idea what that is. Could anyone explain it to me, or what brands are good that i could use. Thanks!

Everything should work together just fine.


Now with liquid cooling. There are two types or liquid cooling. All in one and custom loop. An all in one is something like a Corsair H100i or NZXT Kraken series. They are cheap (compared to custom loops), decently compact, and have a low chance of leaking.

Custom loops on the other hand perform better, they can have as many radiators as you want, more than one pump for better flow, and you can include your graphics card(s) in the loop as all in ones are usually only for the cpu. Custom loops require more maintenance ( need to be flushed and cleaned about every 6 months) they cost a lot more (depending on the parts you get, my loop with big radiators and 2 gpus and a cpu totaled me about...

You also have to make sure you get the right components so they work with each other and leaks do not occur such as fittings, tubing size ect.
Custom water cooling loops are more of a hobby.

I would suggest a h100i or another corsair h series cooler as those work pretty well
