Hello all!
Been carousing this forum for quite a bit (going through the sticky threads, some recent threads from other newbies) trying to absorb as much as possible. I'm looking to build a new rig, but for the first time in decades, wanted to kind of 'evolve' from the air / AIO coolers that made me lazy.
Not going to lie - I'm absolutely terrified about screwing up my first custom loop! In any case, I went ahead and ordered parts that are shipping from performance-pcs. I guess my question is- is there anything else that I should be looking to also get? The case I'm looking to use to build my first custom loop is a mean:it 4pm cube case (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIACUC57H2439)
For now, I'd like to get my feet wet by doing just the CPU. Maybe down the line, when I get enough courage, I'll start adding my GPU to the mix- but taking baby steps for now!
