My 1st bui8ld with 1st water loop attempt

Hi, just got into building, got a lot to learn but putting this stuff together is easy, learning all the tiny details of how a computers works is much more difficult.
That is what I need now, to learn all about how a computer works. using the Royal Z RAM in gold - a little touch of color and style!

[GSKILL TECH]

Nice colorway, coming along nicely! What are the main components being used?

Thanks! Its a Gigabyte Z-490 Vision D, with a GeForce 1660 Super, Core i5 (Wish I had more money at the time, would've went i9 with quicker RAM)

I have 32GBx2 /2666 on the G Skill Royal Z Gold ( I see lots of people with them, my mind was made up as soon as I saw them) 1 TB Silicon Power M2

Rest is Thermaltake :

Core P5 (I want the Core P7 desperately!)
CLD 480 radiator w/ 4 Quad fans, 120 mm
PR 32 D-5 pump/reservoir
MX1 Plus water block
iRGB 1000w PSU
Pacific RGB Plus fittings ( ) - 6

That's basically ALL components, but I just started in August. I love it, getting much better with shaping the hard tubing, just finished re-doing with the new fittings, came out awesome!


Ready to start my 2nd build, but this time I want to go Ryzen, hope I can get some suggestions here, thank you again for the nice words!!
