Thanks Union - It will include the coolant as well I take it? Yes it's a sealed closed loop cooling system. Comes ready to install and the coolant does not need changing, like with full water cooling PC systems.

The cooler usually comes with some already applied. I can't think of anything else. It should all be there with what is ordered. Doh. It didn’t. However, I’ve had to take the cooler out a couple of times to run cables etc. So getting the paste.

I looked at that Gigabyte and was tempted. I seem to remember some negativity in some reviews, can't remember what now. I decided to stick with EVGA as it's a good performer, and I've never had an issue with EVGA. That's why I recommended it. I haven't used MSI in a long time, but again had seen some negativity. But the Gigabyte maybe be fine. I don't think you can go to far wrong with any of the above!

I've been thinking the same thing lately. I've been trying to research new VR, seems to GTX 40?0 is the way to go. I'll see if I can find out anything, usually Union is my VR master lol

If I upgrade just the CPU from the i7 above to Intel Core i9-9900K Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 5.0GHz Unlocked LGA1151 300 Series 95W (BX806849900K) - Because I am limited to the LGA1151 socket, is tht the best I can do?
I am also assuming I have to pick a processor that matches the motherboards Chipset and that is, I assume, 300 series as I have the ASUS ROG Maximus XI Formula Intel Z390 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboad
