Just want to know if I really need liquid cooled.

Also just a final look if there are any conflicting parts in there.

Much appreciate as usual. Thank you

Big difference between 1333 and 1600MHz??
or is it only because its not compatible with the others components?

and what is the difference between the corsair psu and the silverstone one?

yes thank you in the first build I changed the PSU to corsair and the ram to 1333MHz cause the only difference you gonna notice is gonna be the price.

in the second build, I took the first build and change liquid cooling to air cooling.

corsair will work with all the mobo but silverstone might not, and also I like the 2 rail setup of corsair, as I mentioned before you won't notice any difference between 1600 and 1333MHz ram.

you should not go LC on GPU unless you know how to change the heatsink on the GPU.

the only thing to LC is the CPU if you want LC performance, otherwise the v8 and Noctua NH-U12P will do just fine
