Is this worth $1200

What kind of maintenance? It really intrigued me tbh

Also, I'm going to confirm soon but actually I think it was an extra $200 not $300 for the watercooling (on top of the $1300)

The water slowly evaporates and collects all kinds of crap along the way so it needs to be drained, changed and filled every once in a while just like a swimming pool. You can go for years without doing it but it'll make a difference in how much noise the whole thing makes and how well it can actually cool down the components, and not doing regular maintenance will mean it'll break down faster and more often.

But...it looks so nice

Gonna be really blunt and to the point so that there's no confusion on this matter...

Getting a water cooling sure helps overclocking a bit more, but getting it before SSD is just as stupid as pimping out $100 soviet car for looks...

Ok ok for your sake I'll get an SSD with it, chill

Now, the watercooling will mean 5.0 Ghz instead of 4.6GHz how will that impact FPS in games like WoW/BO2/BF3?

I answered that in your other OC thread. No, it will not mean 5ghz. Not necessarily, anyway.
