For my next build, which is still a ways off, I'm trying to decide between air cooling, and all in one liquid cooling (at least I think that's the right term? If not, here's an example of one http://pcpartpicker.com/product/Kn7CmG/corsair-cpu-cooler-cw9060020).

I went with a CRYORIG air cooler for my current build, and it's performed well with no overclock, but I'm wondering if a liquid cooling option would be a significant upgrade. I'll most likely be running two RX 480's, with an i5 6600k, if that means anything. Are fans on these liquid coolers easy to replace, with better quieter ones? Do I just replace them with normal case fans (Probably not?)

Also, is there a risk incorporated with going with a liquid cooling option? Any possible leaking, or anything like that? I'm not looking to do a custom liquid cooling setup, but more like the one I listed above.

Any help would be much appreciated!

If you only play last gen games, then a GTX 950 would be my recommendation. You can get one for about $125 new. If you can afford to get a GTX 960 for maybe $50 more, that would be even better.

If you're looking to play more current gen games, I would suggest an AMD RX 480 for $200.

@PSP107: Yeah, but you asked the question, and I already said in my earlier post, that I did not hate fast food. Sorry if that wan't clear.

@PSP107: Did I say I hated fast food? No.

@i_p_daily: No reason to be so, um, "snippy"?

I understand where you're coming from, but it's not really a big deal.

I don't pretend like I hate fast food restaurants, just to be cool and "hip", but this looks truly gross.

This thread is a horrible idea.

Impressive. I hate to be that guy, but, I highly doubt it will still run at anything like 60FPS when the game releases, but who knows.

@i_p_daily: What do you mean by that?
