Good evening overclockers forums.
I'm currently in a v fortunate position to have a reasonable budget for a pc build and looking for advice, although I have kept upgrading over the years a lot has changed since the last build and id like to do something a bit nice (lighting, braiding the cables etc)
AMD is now a serious consideration for the first time since I started an interest in all this (2009 according to my post history)
Water cooling is something i've not done before (i'm v capable with assembly etc but know almost nothing about the components)
Id like to use my old stuff to build a pc for my kid so although id normally just upgrade a few things this is pretty much a new build - Psu, MB, Ram, Cpu, a nice fast drive so I can pass one of my ssds on to the kid and a case. I already have a 3090Ti (msi suprim version) and id like to water cool that as well as the cpu with clear hoze and bright fluid - i do love the idea of the kraken lcd cooler but am told it might not be up to the task of a higher end cooling job?
Im fine for assembly but know little to nothing about sizes of fittings radiators reservoirs etc
I am not bothered about overclocking these days and just want something super stable that gets the job done and will do so for the foreseeable future.
Usage wise, mostly driving games and a bit of video editing - already have 1440 monitors but will upgrade to 4k in the future.
Not a huge fan of rgb, more inclined to show the coolant of but a little on the ram might be nice.
so far iv found the appropriate water block for the GPU and a case - any help and advice greatly appreciated - £2500 but could stretch a little further if it was to make a worthwhile difference I also have ssds and psu i can use in the mean time to enlarge the budget a little more for other bits if needed.
Cpu ?
Ram ?
Psu ?
Cooling ?
Fast drive ?
Motherboard ?
Gpu - MSI rtx 3090 Ti SUPRIM (already owned)
Case Lian Li O11D EVO Mid-Tower Case in white or black (not owned) £180 to £190
water block Phanteks Glacier RTX 3090Ti MSI Graphics Card Water Block with Backplate (not owned) £194.00
braiding etc separate and not part of budget
Thankyou in advance for any and all advice, one last thing, im moving to Canada in approx 4 weeks and keen to get this done before I go as the current exchange rates and Canada's terrible postal service make it a non viable project to do over there.
