I configured this Desktop PC and I'll install Ubuntu on it:

Does someone have experience with something similar? I'm particularly worried about the motherboard and the liquid cooling.

It would help to know what you plan to use it for, it looks at bit extreme to me for a Linux box.....

The motherboard is overkill in the extreme unless you need specific features?

Go for the H100i cooler if overclocking or the Noctua if you prefer air coolers

Get a better case for dual GPUs eg Corsair Air 540

Thanks for the suggestions!
I was thinking that the Corsair Air 540 is similar to this one: [Link Removed]
It has support for 4 GPUs so for me it was too much since I need only 2.

Anyway thanks again for your help!
