As to the liquid cooling, outside of folk that overclock I've never found that to be needed.
The 970 with the i5 games well.

I want a high performance PC (gaming) I really like the HP ENVY Phoenix 810 series desktops, they really look cool and have decent specs for money. BUT they don't have a great GPU; I personally want to got for GTX 970 as it perfectly fits in my budget and has a great performance ...
I would like to ask you is it possible to upgrade or install the gpu externally bought on the HP Envy desktops without any issues like voiding the warranty.
Also, if I buy the one with core i7 with GTX 970 with the case they provide is liquid cooling necessary? if yes then is it possible ?
and one more thing guys if you have opinion on my gpu selection please advice
Thanks ![]()
