My biggest points of consideration is whether the cooling is adequate. I would really like to get a moderate OC on both the GPU and CPU (100 offset GPU and 4.5 on CPU) but I don't have the expertise to judge if the cooling solution is enough.
The reason I have a AIO for the CPU is portability. I know an air cooler could possibly improve this setup but due to weight an AIO is the most suitable. Will this setup perform better than a 240mm radiator and an air cooled GPU in terms of thermals?
