Hi, I have a couple questions about the liquid systems:
1) How much does the liquid coolant reduce the noise output of the system?
2) Does the system produce less heat due to the liquid coolant?
additionally, I just slapped together this potential build on the website for a fairly powerful gaming computer (first time trying to make a computer). What are your thoughts?
I do have a couple questions:
1) how much quieter/faster/just otherwise better, are the ssd's over hdd's (i have never had a computer with an hdd) Because you can get an hdd that is twice as big for about 110£ less in the computer?
2) how good is the sound that is built in (the 5.1 onboard)?

I am open to any suggestions on any part fo the system as this is my first try at building a computer.
It is quite expensive at just over 2000£ It looks like a very similar system made without the liquid coolant system would only cost around1450£
The 2000£ price tag is quite intimidating, and I would like it to come down a bit (if there is anything in the build that is redundant or unnecessary please speak up) However, the noise level is a large concern to me and if the liquid coolant takes this down by a significant amount, it may just be something I have to choke down.
One more question just popped in my head:
1) how hard is it to set up the computer with two monitors? I have never tried this, but is it worth the 79£ that they charge for assisted setup?
Thanks for your advice
