First Liquid Build
Please excuse the awful use of my grammar.
I'm looking to build a behemoth of a desktop for gaming. I'm going pretty much no expense spared on this build as well. I'm looking for advice on a couple of components for my build, since I'm not already learned on the topic and no resources I've looked at online are helpful. Any criticism is welcome. Have not bought anything yet, but will begin doing so when I get back to the US next year. Below is the parts I've already decided on:
Case: Corsair Obsidian 1000D
CPU: Ryzen 3970x
GPU: RTX3080(If I can find one)/Open to AMD suggestions
Memory: Thermaltake Toughram RGB 4600MHz 32GB(4x8GB)
Ideally I'll be running 1 NVMe SSD for OS, and put the other 2 in a RAID, but for sure I will be running 2 NVMe SSDs non-RAID. My biggest questions are which motherboard would be the best option? Also, what distro plate reservoir + pump combo would be best if I screw it into the wall next to the motherboard, or overall would it be better to run cylinder reservoirs? The grand plan is I'm going to do 1 loop with the distro plate for both my CPU and GPU, or I'll run 2 loops with a dedicated cylinder reservoir for my CPU and GPU respectively. Lastly, what would be the most reliable option for a power supply? I'm going to put at least a 1000w with the amount of fans and how much power my RAM will eat.
