Looking to buy a new build to treat myself as a wedding gift, i just got married 2 days ago 
!
It will be purely for gaming, mainly heavy demand games like star citizen, GT5 and bunch of games from Xbox/pc game pass and steam. i have 2 builds... i'm just stuck on which to get.
the liquid series does not have the custom cooling kit i want... sadly. so the corsair hydro high kit looks decent. The other build is NONE liquid series.
the main thing that bugs me about the liquid cooling, is that the gpu isn't on its side, so it looks skinny sadly it doesn't give me the option to have vertical/horizontal mount, unlike the none liquid series, which asus rog 3090 in its glorious chunkyness looks nice.
