Notes about the build:

I will be using this PC as a gaming, streaming, and video editing system on a 2 monitor 1080p resolution setup. I am trying to keep the machine quite as posible because it will be on my desk and near my microphone. I may want to SLI in the future.

I am able to combo the CPU and the MOBO from Microcenter, that is why the cost of the MOBO is low.

Questions:

I picked this case because many have used this case in their builds and seems to have great reviews. How is the case with regards to sound? Will the H100i fit at the top of this case?

I have never used liquid cooling before out of fear of water and electronics don’t mix. How good is the H100i? Does it offer better cooling then say a good aftermarket air cooler? Do I need to do anything to maintain the liquid cooling system?

How is the PSU in terms of quality?
