Should I use water cooling on the PC I plan on building? It's my first time building one. (For Gaming)?

I like the advantages of water cooling that I've read about, but I've never dealt with it, and this will be my first time building a PC. Is installing a water cooling system risky overall to those inexperienced, or are you only going to get leaks if you toss out the instructions halfway throught the process?

    Risky I would say not really if your using a non-conductive formula and a quality water cooling setup. However, if you aren't overclocking I would stick to air cooling. http://www.dangerden.com/store/home.php?cat=63

    Here is a link to a WC forum with very experienced users in this area and they sell the best water setups as well. Good luck in your new build.

    Don't use water cooling on your first build. You will have enough things to worry about without having to look for leaks.

    To be honest this is going to max out very almost something, sixty 4 participant battlefield 3 "might" have somewhat hassle. it incredibly is a sturdy pc. basically problem this is approximately double the cost whilst in comparison with in case you place it at the same time your self, additionally that i7 is going to be overkill for that 7870, many "gaming pc" agencies will use a trend over powered cpu, and then skimp out on gpu.
