I prefer fan, so you don't end up making a mistake when installing the liquid cooling(ends badly).

Alright. I'm custom ordering online and am a noob to PC, so I'll just stick to fan for price/un-experianced reasons.
Thanks!

Well if it's just a processor like an i3 (what I have) stock fan is good enough. If you're getting and i5 or something then maybe an After-Market fan would be a better idea.

I would advise to get the 212 evo. It's pretty cheap and is excellent at what it does.

Liquid if you wish to do heavy overclocking, or want the rig silent

Fans, with also both side 'panels' taken off, complete ''unrestricted'' airflow.

Also a lazy ass shortcut if problems or just upgrade, dust can have free resting places until high temperature kicks in on idle.

Fan cooling compared to liquid cooling is like comparing a pen to a pencil.

With a pencil, if you screw up, you can just try again and erase your mistake.

With a pen, if you screw up, it's permanent and you'll probably end up having to re-try on a different sheet of paper.

Water cooling is far more efficient and quiet, but more expensive.

@cat

Removing the side panels means the components are no longer in a faraday cage, could result in interference

I would go with Fan Cooling. Like many have said before me, if you screw up with Liquid, you screw up big time.

@Ziek, even if you cross it out, the mistake is still there.
