Questions about the Colored water cooling

So I'm struggling between breaking budget and getting the H20: HydroLux PRO: Exotic Custom Cooling System or possibly just getting the H20: Stage 2: Digital Storm Vortex Liquid CPU Cooler (Dual Fan) (Fully Sealed + No Maintenance) and saving enough to stay closer to the budget of 3000

would that Cooling system honestly make any more of a difference?

Expectations:
Stream and Play games at max settings without worry and no need for upgrading for awhile
Usage:
High end gaming and Streaming at the same time

I have a 1440p 144hz 3ms monitor and I just noticed the graphics card, whats your recommendation? Also what about the cooling system?

I have a Lumos in Stage 6. I agree that you want at least a 2070 Super and that you don't need 1000 watts. Mine has an 850 in it running a 2080 Super and an i7-9700K.

I personally went with the Digital Storm Stage 2 Liquid Cooling with no maintenance. While I did want some bling I did not want to take ** any ** chance of spilling any water inside the case. So I have the CPU water-cooled and the LL fans for the case cooling.

Custom liquid cooling is not required at all. Most air-cooled systems you design here will typically run at least 25C in the safe zone, and usually better than that.

Your build is not very optimal for what you want from it. You can get a great gamer/streamer for $3000 or less with some better part selection.

> The case. The Aventum is just not for $3000 budgets. It cost around $400 more than a Velox and $500 more than a Lumos just for the "box" your parts come in. Then you have to pay at least $200 extra for shipping the 90 pound beast. It's cool, but not $700 cool when you need parts that will work for you.

>The 3950X is way more than you need. the 3800X would do the job, but if you get real, you can have a 3900X.

This is a build I would recommend that would game very well, and stream even better. It costs $3003 because there is a $300 discount:

You can get the cost down even more if you want to. You can get the DS RAM.

You can ditch the second Firecuda NVMe and get something less. I selected those BTW because they are newer PCIe 4 parts to go with your PCIe 4 enabled mobo. They are about 5 times faster than SATA SSDs and they will be game-changing upgrades for everything you do.

You don't HAVE to have the Corsair LL Series case fans, but they look amazing in the Lumos case. You download iCue software from Corsair that lets you have full control over the colors and fan speeds.

You could save on all those and put it toward the 3950X, but I don't think you need that proc.

Hope it helps.
