A) Get monarchcomputer.com to build it for me
B) Order the parts myself.

If you are experienced with building PCs, of course build it yourself.

yea if u know what ur doing go ahead and order the parts and do it urself if not have someone else do it and get ur hs/f just incase somethings up with the water cooling and u wanna try it out befor u put the water cooling on there

Building a PC is easy. But i would say that if you are planning on installing a Liquid Cooling system, you better know what you're doing.
There is very little if any margin for error with liquid cooling. Make 1 mistake with a tube not clamped properly and you'll be posting a thread here about how to salvage andd dry out socked components inside your case.

Liquid Cooling installation isn't for everyone. It take a bit of knowledge and experience. Have monarch build it for you.

but does monarch do liquid cooling??

 

[GuitarFreak1857]

????? anyone??

 

[TheHeadFL]

Doubtful.

 

[GuitarFreak1857]

ok ok, does it make that much of a difference??

 

[GuitarFreak1857]

has anyone here installed a liquid cooling system??

The stock cooling system shoud be entirely adequate for the processor. Liquid cooling is only significant if you plan to overclock and generate a bunch of excess heat. If not, forget it. Put in an additional low-RPM chassis fan or two and be happy.
