spec me

Well it just goes to show how buying pre-built can be very costly and what you get vs a self build can be quite a lot less... not that it's a bad spec, you're getting a bit more RAM (although you don't need it), and a better 1080 (although performance will be broadly the same), but you are paying for it to come all as one.

ok so if I order everything you list I'll have a full working system

p.s could i swap the ran for 16g 3000mhz

You still have to build it lol ;). Post in the Watercooling section if you want some other opinions... I don't think I've missed anything though.

You could but largely pointless, you won't really gain anything in real world performance terms, but if it's near enough the same price then no harm.

You could add in some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut TIM.
 
Actually, I would add one of these Bitspower Rotary fittings in place of the EK Y-Splitter. Having built in that case myself (see my sig), it will work better if you place this on the bottom rad for your drain valve, therefore the orientation of the Bitspower one makes this easier. It gives you an extra thread also, in to which you can have one of these temp sensors, which is a handy thing to have.

ok I'm just not sure if wc or air for the budget is better

It's up to you... you'll get the best performance and temps on water, but that comes at a price. You can still get a quiet system on air, if done right. No one can tell you what to do though. The choice is yours... :)
 
ok heres an updated spec

Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Midi Tower Case - Blackout Edition Window
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix Z270E
Processor Intel Core i7-7700K
CPU Cooler: Cryorig R1 Ultimate
Memory Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 3200MHz
Graphic Card: Asus GeForce GTX 1080 Turbo
SSD: Samsung 960 PRO Polaris 512GB
HDD: Toshiba (7K1000.D) 1TB
Power Supply: EVGA Supernova G2 650W '80 Plus Gold'
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 USB
Fans: 8x be quiet! Silent Wings 3 140mm PWM
Monitor: DELL S2417DG
 
If you want a quiet system DO NOT buy that GPU! Any card with the blower design will be noisy. Check out THIS LINK for a chart of various GPU's, so you can see which is quietest.

Why are you getting 8 of those fans???

HDD's can be a bit on the noisy side... I personally have gone all SSD now and am thankful for it. May push your budget over if you went with a 1TB SSD however.

You don't need 3200Mhz RAM. Is there a reason you've gone for that, is it a great price? If it frees up more money for a better GPU or bigger SSD, just get 2133 or 2400, you will not notice the difference.
 
few changes in mind

1. r5 without window
2. no extra fans
3. 3200mhz ram

can anyone answer these

1. can i use my laptop hdd, ssd and optical drive
