use the money for a new CPU or GPU, watercooling a 6300 is useless

Why watercooling on a budget system like this. You could instead just get an H100i.

um yeh the only reason you should ever water cool is if you have the highest end system possible and wont to squeeze every last drop of performance out of it. plus to water would probably cost more then your graphics card and your cpu just run the stock colloer and chuck some more money into the graphics cards

I do agree with the previous posts, but as an answer to your question: yes, I think so.

I've got a watercolors 6300 and it depends on your ambient temperature where I live it gets too hot to use air cooling so water cooking is the only option on those hot days.

Back on topic yeah those parts look fine. You could try and get yourself a kit to save some money and it comes with everything you need

Thank for any help!!

 

I don't see any real issue with your part selection there, looks pretty good. How ever I would use a kit as pre-mentioned, Something like this or this.

 

Any way Thought about doing your gpu as well? if you have, this may help you.

 

Good luck with it.

Thank you for your replies.. The reason I am going with these parts is because I dont like the bay res and I am on a bit of a tight budget... As to why I would want to watercool this system is because this is what I could afford at the time of purchase and I want the custom in case i upgrade later on and leave this as a home pc

Yeah my ambient temps in the summer are 45oC and in the winter 30oC also I don't like the stock cooler and love the aesthetics of a watercooled system

Its not ideal to watercool cheap components as it makes more sense to just get higher end parts instead, but seeing as you already have this system you should watercool it if that's what you feel like as when you build a new system in a few years you can reuse the pump, tubing, fittings, radiators etc (stuff like radiators will not really drop in price long term as metals are just getting more expensive) So my only advice is, that if you do watercool it, make sure you get very good quality parts that will last years and years, don't try to save a few dollars by getting cheap stuff as then you'll just end up having to rebuy it later.

Seriously? Do you have your heating on 24/7 or something? That seems a bit hot for a room or any part of a house to be honest....

NO heating or anything but thats the weather down here. you open the window and hot air gets in instead of cold

Don't waste your money on a watercooling kit for a fx 6300. At least if it was an 8 core and you wanted to Overclock to over 4.7 , then I'd say yes. But right now a cheap hyper 212 will do. If my 212 evo can handle 4.5ghz on my 8320 it should push 4.7 on your 6 core

Your money will be much better spent buying an Intel CPU and better GPU.

Spending money to water cool a 6300 and 270X would be insane.

You should buy a fan or something then, for yourself, not for the computer...
