This is why I hate Cyberpower - they include a lot of things that you just don't need. You don't need a liquid cooler unless you're going with a full custom loop. The RAM and CPU are way overkill for gaming. I don't think I would touch that power supply with a 10 foot pole.

Whats up with it? Sorry guess i made a lot of mistakes this is my first time making any kind of PC


Pick a brand name PSU like Corsair or Seasonic or Enermax or XFX (Cyberpower should allow you to do this). Powercool is a bad brand for a PSU. Your CPU choice is a bit overkill, usually, the 3570K is more cost effective than the 3770K for gaming, however, you may keep it if you wish, nothing technically wrong with that CPU.

For the graphics card, you picked a GTX 670 2GB, this is a very good choice, however, can you pick a good brand name for the graphics card like EVGA or ASUS? If you leave the brand name blank, Cyberpower will put whatever they want (usually some really cheap brand name).

Other than that, everything else looks fine. You water cooling is fine, your case is fine, your SSD is fine, your Hard Disk Drive is fine.

Okay well im getting all of this from palicomp and would this PSU be better? 1050W PSU - CORSAIR Modular 80+ & 12CM FAN (+£170.00) it costs a lot more but i am willing to pay for it if needed as i want this to be a great computer that can last a while and will be very high standard. and for the Graphics card would nvidia be the brand not sure tbh sorry if i making mistakes and thanks for the amazing help!

You only need a 600w or so PSU, the only reason you would need a 1050w is if you where going to use 3 graphic cards...
If you want to have the option to add another video card later on I would get a 750-850w PSU maybe something like a CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX850M other wise a CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650M will work.
