Obviously liquid cooling is better, but you have to take note on why you want to go for that? 1. Mostly used for high intense games, particularly if you're on 1080p screen and you're using more than 1 graphic card via Nvidia SLI or AMD Crossfire. 2. Overclocking 3. It's expensive, more than possible 2 or 3 times than conventional fans that already came along with your processor and graphic card. --- If you want better cooling, graphic card especially, try to go for the Gigabyte brands instead. I heard Ultra Durable is a strong feature on both your motherboard & graphic card. 4. Less maintenance but you need professionals or to be trained in order to handle the pipes and such. ------- Ok, my turn! Specifications :- CPU: Intel i5 4430 (Haswell) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H87-D3H (with Ultra Durable 5 Plus) GPU: Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 750 (Awaiting release) or GT 740. RAM: CORSAIR 4GB 1600Mhz (4GB RAM only, 4+0), will buy an extra 4GB RAM as well since I can afford an extra PSU: Corsair Builder Series VS 550watts (I wish I could have bought a Gigabyte Sumo Platinum 650W instead, it has the rating of 80 Plus Platinum!) CPU cooler: (Mostly all prepared by both the CPU Casing and the processor, no need for extra ones) Casing: Cooler Master N300 Monitor: SAMSUNG 18.5" S19C150FS (720p, sorry, want to keep it energy efficient as well as low-cost, gladly this one uses 12 watts with Energy Star 6.0 rating) - Personally I'm on budget tight and power conscious, so I can't invest in a bigger 1080p screen while the power consumption is high. Speakers: LOGITECH Z313 2.1 (Sorry, I no need for Surround Sound) Optical Drive: LG 24X SATA Super Multi DVD-RW Drive HDD: WD1002FAEX (Western Digital 1TB Black Series comes with 5 year warranty) Keyboard: Logitech G105 Gaming Keyboard with LED backlighting (not to play intense multiplayer games, but for me to use it in the dark.) Mouse: Logitech M-UAU94 Laser Mouse (I never want another optical again, its infrared sucks) OS : Windows 7 Ultimate (Will upgrade to Windows 8.1 one day BUT with 3rd party software installed due to in need of a proper Start button we know and love. Plus is the DirectX 11.2 to take advantage of Tiled Resources)
