Watercooling is not mafan at all if it's a hobby wink.gif

You are spending a lot for an i7 with mobo and rams, and thats a good PSU there, just top up a few hundred ringgit to get TRUE120 or Megahalem. They will serve you will.

I think Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme is still a better buy. Cheaper and it's currently the best heatsink at frostytech.
