@chingano Yes water cooling is better (in general), how ever Custom water cooling "Can" be better they also then to leak more often. i bought my pc a month ago from Cdon.se, for 4300kr AmdFX 6100 clock@ 4Ghz with Corsair H100, 4x4GB 1600mhz(CL9). NZXT Phantom Full tower now i already over clocked it, so i generate more heat then normal and i'm still at 31 degree's max on full load cpu stress test for about a good 15 minutes in. i tested it with fans and i got well over 54 degree's

@bgioni I'll be editing but not often, i think I'll go with 16GB just to be comfortable .

[bgioni]

@bgioni 120mm lol, 120cm would be twice the size of the case :))

[bgioni]

@chingano custom watercooling loops = better, the corsair H-series are pretty bad though. Higher temps than high-end air coolers and very noisy in comparison ( high-end air coolers use pwm fans that work at 1300rpm tops while the fans on the corsair fans go up to 2000rpm and that's very noisy for a 120cm fan. ). If your pc will be used only for gaming 8GB will be enough for the next 5 years or so, more than 8GB is needed only for heavy photo/video editing.

[chingano]

@bgioni but isn't water cooling better?

and about the RAM should i go with the 8GB or 16GB?

I can save about 300 Kr(swedish which are 45-50 USD) in buying the 8GB CL8

lol u have modern warfare on ur pc

[bgioni]

@chingano go for the 570+the 750W PSU, you will have much less trouble than AMD drivers. for cooling though, you'll be better off with a noctua nh-d14 ( lower temps and lower noise than the H80, plus it's cheaper too )

@chingano srry for the mess but i dont have much space
