a build plan

[Prokart2000]

hi this is a build i would like to save up for but is there anything i should change? :http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3HgKy

[Tea1337]

I would say just wait for z97 boards and CPU's. But other than that it looks pretty good, and why sli 280's? Why not get like a single r9 290(x) and CF it later on?

[SAV1OUR]

looks good just dont use a haf its ugly get something nice like a h440 or a 750d for even better rad support but thats just me being picky

[Prokart2000]

i know its not the best case but i quite like it and are the wc parts ok im only 13 and im not too sure

i put a 290 in instead good point @Tea1337

and it will have the asrock z97 extreme4

so good?

The stacker can take 3x360 and a 240

[Prokart2000]

The stacker can take 3x360 and a 240

is it good?

@Lays you have a wc setup is this good?

[Lays]

@Lays you have a wc setup is this good?

 

sec lemme read through it and I'll post after.

[Lays]

Looks good to me. 

 

Do get a 290, or 290X if you can like you said before.

[Stiffmaister]

hi this is a build i would like to save up for but is there anything i should change? :http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3HgKy

Why do you have 4x4gb of ram? wouldn't 2x8gb be more efficiant and cooler?

[Prokart2000]

Looks good to me. 

 

Do get a 290, or 290X if you can like you said before.

thanks hopefully i will build a build like this when im older, just getting my bearings with wcing

[Prokart2000]

i was thinking it being like this, without the top section and two 360s in the bottom 

[PuNkPoEtS]

@Prokart2000 if you got the haf935 it has space for 3x120mm on the top and also 3x120mm in the front but you will have to remove the HDD cage

[Prokart2000]

@Prokart2000 if you got the haf935 it has space for 3x120mm on the top and also 3x120mm in the front but you will have to remove the HDD cage

i was having them in the bottom as it will look less cluttered and more sexy with just the pipes and wires

@Prokart2000 if you got the haf935 it has space for 3x120mm on the top and also 3x120mm in the front but you will have to remove the HDD cage

after you saying this i added another 360mm to the build o put at the top

@Lays so you reccomend anything else or different

anyone whohas a watercooled pc could you suggest anything?

do i need fittings or a gpu bridge for the water to flow through both gpus?

there are some fittings in thsi post that i like http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/137810-black-pearl-ice-watercooled-define-r4-in-progress/page-4 but what bridge should i have????? i think thats it after, i need tips for the tubing mostly

Pump: Some variation of this like just a pump, or a res/pump combo

Fittings: Any color of these (Straight, 30°, 45°, 90°)

EK makes good blocks for CPU's and GPU's. Also i recommend for like $10 more going for the blocks with Nickel in them (Helps reduce corrosion)

Get a bridge that is the same brand as your waterblock

ive got some blocks already check them out are they ok and dont you need a bridge

[AMD Lover]

ive got some blocks already check them out are they ok and dont you need a bridge

Wheres the block i cant find it and no you can just run a tube between the two GPU's or you can get a metal tube that will extend and compress to fit between the two.

[Prokart2000]

@TheNinjaNextDor

the H440 might be able to use a 45mm thick in the roof, but depending on

RAM/MOSFET 'sinks. usually, though a 30mm for all. so your 60mm 360

and ST30 240 would work well as a 280 can also.

linking the stuff could help

just to point out im in uk so i will be on at different times

also can it be the clear ones so you can see the coolant inside the blocks

Over 60 all the time, probably 70-90. My 780 gets around 60-80 OCed to about 290x level.
