In my current build I have overclocked the processor as well as the graphics card.

How good is the upgrade chassis airflow?  Is it necessary for this build?  How about the liquid cooling for the processor?


Thanks in advance!

Depending on what case you select, it may not help much at all, and the upgraded fans are also very loud. Also the Asetek Liquid CPU cooler is just LC for the sake of saying it is LC. Its cooling pales terribly compared to real LCing, even good air coolers such as either of the Noctua models offered by DS will outperform it, especially the larger Noctua NH-D14. It isn't exactly known for its construction quality or reliability either.

But more importantly there are much more important things you should be spending the money on first before you think about selecting LCing or unnecessary additional fans.

You should start a thread in the configuration section with your budget, what resolution your monitor supports up to, and what you will be using the PC for, then people can help you best configure something.
