Hello again gents. This is (sadly) not for myself, but for a friend. I wanted to get some input from you all before proceeding. I have not worked with liquid cooling, as I'm not much of an over clocker, and the last time I was seriously in the game was when I built my Devil's Canyon rig in '14.
We're thinking a black and green theme. This case is a good example:

What do you think of it? Would you trust the built in cooler?
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Gaming Rig / Daily driver
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
~1500.00 USD
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
‘Merika
4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from.
NO!
5. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.
GPU = Nvidia, CPU = Intel, Mobo = MSI
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
No existing components
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
Yes, planning to OC as much as the cooling solution will allow for
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
1080p. I think he wants to use his TV for this. Trying to dissuade him. What kind of monitor would we fit into this equation?
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Between now and black friday
10. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
Windows.
