    Well i have been trying to build a new PC but i don't really know what parts really to buy. I have a list up with the parts i have on it. But again i dont really know what to get. I also would like some tips on how to install a mother board, cpu and water cooling other then those things i pretty much know how to do the rest.

    Nice machine! Mucho dinero though, the parts are excellent.

    There's tons of how-to videos on youtube, just search for your components, mainly your cooler as that can be a bit of a tricky install, the motherboard needs to be put on the bronze standoffs, prolly 11 of them. Screw them in first to your case, then install your mobo with the cooler on, hook up your cabling. Triple check that everything's plugged in properly and away you go. You might also want try and find a video of how to do proper cable management for your case.

    Main thing is to read the manuals first, and don't rush! Enjoy.:)
