I'm gonna change almost everything else too (excluding case, hard drives and disk reader) so it's a-okay.

Saying i7 is very vague. Are you getting a 5930k? or an 860? What motherboard are you getting? Have much ram are you going for/what kind?
Details man, details.

Also, closed loop cooler or a full system loop? If so, why? Are you doing crazy overclocking and/or have multiple high end video cards and/or are just doing it to show off?

Also this topic is where this goes

I'm getting a 4790K, this MB and I'm pretty clueless about the RAM. It says "Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DIMM 240" on my paper.
It's just a CPU cooler, and I'm gonna let the guys at my local pc shop piece everything together because I don't want to break anything, so yeah I'm just showing off B)

water cooling is a tad too risky without a warranty

i would stick with alternate methods instead of having your gtx 970 yes im jealous drenched in water

Ah, so it is just a closed loop cooler then. I have a H100i in mine. Since its close loop, you can ignore the whole "drenching your PC" post, unless you decide to rip out the tubes for some odd reason.
Also, breaking things isnt really a big worry. I would honestly say look up a few videos (Neweggs 3 part guide is pretty nice) on how to build computers so that you can save yourself some cash and you will be more confident in opening up your computer and doing modifications and such.

It really isn't that expensive knowing that they will fix (or replace) anything that goes wrong with the computer/if it get drenched or whatever. I will definitely no doubt do it myself if i ever decide to get another HDD/more RAM/a new GPU (hopefully not for a while), but considering I'm getting almost everything switched out and getting water oriented stuff I'd rather just let someone else do it - and do something a bit more basic at another time by myself.

[Foxscotch]

it is still expensive even if there is a warranty. that doesn't even make sense. you don't need it, so why pay for it?

it's a lot more fun to do it yourself. and not hard

I dont think you understand. Its called a Close loop cooler because it comes pre-filled and sealed closed. Water WONT escape from it unless you cut the tubes.

Honestly, if you keep yourself static free, installing a computer is such a breeze since parts are more durable than you think. Sure, still have to be care with the back of the motherboard and video card, but thats about it. There really isnt a whole lot you can forget up when building a pc.
