So I am finalizing a deal with this guy for a new desktop for $750 I think it's a steal of a deal. The one thing I am worried about is the water cooling as I have no experience with that whatsoever if someone could explain that to me that would be great because if it's a lot of work before I buy it I would like to know.

Specs:
Motherboard: Tuf Gaming
16 GB DDR4 RAM
Intel Core i7-8700k 3.6(4.7 Ghz OC)
Corsair H60 Water Cooler
Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 Graphics Card Founders Edition
Corsair Mid Tower Black Case
1 TB Hard Drive
250 GB SSD

I would love to hear what you guys think about the deal and if I should get it or not.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

And what are you looking with regards to water cooling?
Are you looking to make a loop?

Corsair ones are nothing to worry about. If there is any thermalake components that’s when you need to watch out.

How do I maintain a water cooler. I have yet to watch a video or research it.

You don’t? It doesn’t need maintainance. It’s sealed for a reason :p

Don't you have to refill after a certain time?
Unless it’s a custom watercooling and you have shitty cooling liquid, yes, but those that are sealed do not need a refill, even after years.

Thanks for the info[DOUBLEPOST=1542292298][/DOUBLEPOST]
Do you think I could stream with this
You can do almost anything with this. 6 cores can handle with ease streaming, though I recommend getting a video card from Elgato!

Will this video card hold up for awhile?

I’d say between 3-4 years before it starts requiring an upgrade. Computer specs haven’t moved a lot in the past 4 years, not they will in the next 4 years. You’ve got a really steady build up for any challenge. If you need any pc advice just dm me on discord. You’ve got the dream pc.

One last thing does this case allow for upgrading things along the way.

You need to say which case it is. Corsair has tons of "Mid Tower" cases

All of the cases allow full upgrading, some may not allow radiator/watercooling upgrades but this one seems steady. If you wish I could help you benchmark this to ensure you are getting the correct performance.
