ok so this is my first post on this site and my first attempt to build my own computer. i think these parts will work but i want to make sure.. also if any1 has any ideas as to how i could make it better let me know, please and thank you. also i have a general idea on how to install a water cooling system but can't find anywhere to get the system for a decent price. i'm looking to cool my cpu and gpu but everything i find only is a cpu cooler. am i just dumb or is it really that hard to find a video card block?
