Create AdviceHelp for a gaming setup?
Are you located in the United States? I understand that many people use "USD," but a significant number of members do as well, even though they come from different regions. We can definitely provide more effective assistance if we are aware of your specific location because what is accessible in one area may not be available elsewhere.
Would they favor a CPU air cooler or an AIO liquid cooler? I generally lean toward air cooling, though it requires more space on the motherboard compared to an AIO unit. It’s quieter, more affordable, and avoids the risk of hardware leaks. However, this isn’t my setup, so their preference remains open.

If your existing build already includes case fans, you can repurpose them here—it would be beneficial since this model comes with only one 120mm front and one 120mm rear fan. Consider relocating the 120mm front fan to the top rear position as an additional exhaust, adding at least two 140mm front fans. Alternatively, you may incorporate existing fans initially and focus on upgrades later. Or proceed with this configuration right away.
