i have a xps 625 and ive just bought a w/c kit and there isnt a lot of space so i was considering getting a new case (coolermaster haf 932) i also wanted rid of the mobo that came with my dell as ive been recomended to.

how much work is involved in the actually system setup, the moving of the parts is fine, but is there any things hard to do on the system??

thanks
 
There is not a lot of work if you know what your doing ;), Have you built a pc before?

Its not too difficult really. Just got to take your time and take things slowly!

Its a lot like fitting lego together with regards to what goes where, ie ram will only fit one way, graphics cards and all power leads only fit in one way due to the shape on the sockets.

Just keep in mind to touch some unpainted metal like a radiator or a part of your case every so often(bear in mind that it needs the psu power lead connected but SWITCHED off at the mains) to make sure you ground yourself so you don't have any static related accidents.

As you are buying a new case most if not all cases come with a decent enough instruction manual which will guide you on how to install everything and where it all goes. If not there's plenty of help on here, if you cant describe something you can always post a picture of your problem which makes things easier.

Is you W/C kit pre-assembled, ie like a coolermaster h50? or is it individual pieces that you will need to assemble yourself and then test for leaks?

Im sure as im not a w/c person someone will point you to all the do's and donts thats probably outlined in a guide somewhere, building a system even if its swapping cases is fun and a good challenge!
