So I have been busy doing a few upgrades on my computer and quickly realized the limitations I was running in to with my old Cooler Master HAF-X case. Where is does boast that it can support "water cooling", I think it was only intended for the use of AIO's. Or possibly custom loops, but with external pumps and reservoirs. So out with the old and in with the new. Below are some images I took after assembly.So I shopped around for a while and what I wound up getting was as follows. Note, I payed much less than these prices. These are only links to what the components are.Lian-Li 011 Dynamic XL ROG case.https://www.newegg.com/black-lian-li-o11-dynamic-e-atx-full-tower-case/p/2AM-000Z-00048Lian-Li 011 Dynamic distro plate with pump.https://www.newegg.com/lian-li-reservoir/p/2YM-002Y-00001EKWB Cool stream PE 360mm radiator.

Is that a pre-built system Dave?
you might want to refresh your memory on the case review. most reviews I've seen have it as one of the top case designs but some I 'm sure would argue. I don't think I've had a component hit over 80 c in it since I've owned it new. no water cooling was ever used. and I'm pretty sure when that AMD motherboard is in it. it's going to have better cooling than the Cyberpower case it was bought in. let alone the cooler I bought is more than capable of cooling that beast.
and pretty sure if my corsair TX 750 can't handle the power with my MSI X gamer GTX 1060 (I know you have a better Video card than me) than I have a 1000w X3 Ultra not really planning on using the 650w gold rated PS it came with. you can smirk about my ketchup and mustard cables all you want while I got a system that could pretty much fight neck to neck with yours minus the video cards. for $500 Canadian.
Here's the rating of my case on newegg 5/5 stars and 8664 reviews. Yeah, must be a real shit case, right. tried to just stick to major names in the reviews.
