You spent money in all the wrong places. Aio water coolers are useless. You could get the same temps with a much cheaper air cooler. Changed the motherboard out with a better one. Because people on the tek have been having compatibility issues. Changed the ram because you will need low profile ram with that cooler. With the ssd you chose i changed it with a better quality ssd. Seagate barracuda's have a high doa rate from what i've heard. With the case you chose it was small. So i changed it out for a bigger and better looking one for more expandibility. I swapped out the psu for a better quality one.
