Hey everyone! I'm about to place an order for all the components of my new PC build, and I'd love to get some final advice from you all. You can check out my planned build [here](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BCNzTM). I'm particularly considering changing the AIO cooler since I've seen mixed reviews on the Arctic Liquid Freezer III PRO - 360mm. If anyone has experience with it, I'd appreciate your thoughts on its noise levels. Thanks a lot!

The Arctic cooler is actually pretty solid, and you likely won’t notice much of a difference in noise compared to other pumps unless you’re using a sound meter. Just check the B850 prices; make sure it has the ports and lanes you need, you might find it cheaper elsewhere!
Your parts look fantastic but yeah, you're on the pricier side. I built with the LF III AIO (in 420mm) on a different Tomahawk board, and honestly, I found it loud by default. You might need to adjust the fan curves because they tend to ramp up a bit too aggressively. A good tweak to the pump settings might help too!
Dude, you might be overspending on some parts! I put together a build that comes out way cheaper. Switch to the Portugal store for better prices.
Here’s a breakdown:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D - €499.90
- **Cooler**: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 - €99.90
- **Motherboard**: MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX - €269.90
- **Memory**: TEAMGROUP T-Create 32GB - €106.80
- **Storage**: WD Black SN850X 2TB - €156.17
- **GPU**: MSI RTX 5070 Ti - €813.21
- **Case**: Lian Li LANCOOL 217 - €119.90
- **PSU**: Fractal Design Ion Gold 850W - €105.81
Total: €2171.59, a really good value! Give it a look!
Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll definitely consider switching some components! Just so you know, I typically only upgrade every 8-10 years, so I wanted to invest in quality this time. My current GPU is a 1050ti.
