Tweak my basket!

Hi it's time for a new system!

I want to build my first watercooled rig. I have £2.5k to spend.

I may not need a PSU and have allocated £500 for the watercooled parts.

I would like advice on the parts I have chosen. And whether there are better options or compatibility issues.

I picked the ram and gfx mainly on looks, so I'm sure there are better options.

Thanks

Edit: Forgot to say the system will be an all rounder, used for a little bit of gaming and some photoshop.

Posted in the wrong section. And was moved twice. Great start.

me personally i would sack the overpriced sammy nvme and get a corsair mp510 or sabrent rocket and put what you save towards something else.

Ok thanks that's an easy swap.The Corsair is a saving of just over £50.

Any reason for choosing the Asus Blower card when there's (probably) Quieter models that are cheaper? I'm not keen on Blower cards personally as I owned one many moons ago & it made more noise than a Vacuum cleaner.

No reason at all, I picked it purely because it looked cool. Same with the ram.. aww pretty LEDs!

I haven't looked into hardware for around 7 years, so have no idea what's good and what isn't. The items above are a rough guide really.

I will be water-cooling a gfx so need one that I'm able to do that with.

Ok so now I need to lock in what ram to get.
