I'm generally a very paranoid person, and liquid near computer parts is a bit of a stretch to me.
My build is complete sans choosing a cooler: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2sVv4
I'm still willing to try liquid cooling if the part is reliable. I was wondering if the cooler listed is a solid one, or if I could just get a much better air cooler instead?
There's no need for watercooling anymore. That's old school when video cards and CPUs couldn't be overclocked without overheating. All this has been eradicated and good overclocks can easily be achieved with decent after market air cooling. Most people who water cool now days are just trying to be extra.
First it's a pre-filled closed loop, so it's completely safe. And secondly, water cooling is still very much relevant, it's not necessary, but it's the best way to get the best overclocks.
