Folks, I need your suggestions!
I'm looking to build new PC, I'm not in a hurry and can wait till next year, etc. to see if there is newer versions of the below components will be
available and will worth the wait.
I've created a list of components shared via amazon list http://a.co/259Rhkm . My primary concern is the that not too many motherboard options available and all of them are 1st generation, so I'm concerned about various bugs, etc.
This system will be used with dual boot: Ubuntu + Win. I already have 2 28" 144hz Asus monitors that will be reused, along with the big cube-like Corsiar full size case.
Primarily reason for good graphics card and windows is Steam + PUBG/QuakeChampions/QuakeLive games, so windows will be only used for gaming, nothing else. I already have couple of SSD drives that I will be reusing, so they are not part of this list.
Also, I never done water cooling before, so I'm not sure what it takes, how complex it is, and if it's worth it given the above use cases for this PC. I would not be overclocking as I'm not into that and don't really care about scoping top scores somewhere.

So cpu fan is not an option? I never did watercooling before, what if it's going to leak on the system?
