I thought that the liquid coolant was glue.

Speaking of that, I've never had a liquidcooled PC. Does it have to be connected to my house's water system or does it have a tank? /explain please.

It has a tank of recirculated distilled water. Other water causes corrosion and isn't safe to run through your electronics.

So I have to constantly buy distilled water? I'll just fill it with sunflower oil and cook some fries in it with the heat it makes. I get a cool processor (for some time atleast) and some fries to eat while browsing the frums.

The key word is recirculated. It gets pumped through your system to sink heat, then through a radiator to cool it down, then it goes back into the tank to repeat the process. You never need to change the water, but if you're OCD you could do it as often as you like to satisfy your need for newness.

I'm not OCD. I'm as cheap as possible.

Then go with air cooling.

WD-40

This will work. Although I'm sure that theres special lubricant for PC fans, don't want WD-40 flinging around. That stuff flings around like crazy

So I recreated the Erebus XL (kinda) using PCPartPicker.

I had to edit a few parts because they weren't available in the search and such.

Right, I forgot that Nal chose an Intel instead of the 9590. Forget I said anything about watercooling.

500 bucks

[Headcrab Zombie]

Bought a gtx 770 a few months back, but I'm still running a phenom 2 I bought when I bought this computer about 4 years ago. So I'm looking to upgrade my cpu, and since i'll be switching from AMD to Intel, my mobo.

Is the i7 3770k still the "Go to" CPU? Nothing else really sticks out to me.
Does this mobo look good? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131837
