(there's no graphics cards because i could not find EVGA's Hydrocopper GTX 980 in the website)

so i am trying to find the best water cooling kit that could give the lowest possible temperature for this build, but every time i research about it just shows up kits that's 2 years old and i am confused on finding one. i am going to be cooling my GPU and my CPU , i'm a beginner on this cooling stuff so try and go easy on me. ;)

 

and would the 2 gpu's be able to run 4 monitors? (3 in the middle 1 on the middle top monitor, 1 monitor on the middle top for checking facebook etc, 3 monitors for gaming) at ultra and 60+ fps? any suggestions would be helpful.  :lol:

 

and this build is kinda close to Linus' overkill build :wub:


 

Also, my color scheme is red and black. so i would like a reservoir and a liquid coolant red or the whole kit itself red and black and the tube too  :P

If you want a custom loop, there's no big difference in the many you can find, just depends on the rad surface... add 2 fittings and the GPU block and it's ok... Otherwise you can go with two AIO...

Never use red colored liquid, it won't get away when you drain the loop, take red tubing ^^

Red dye can be washed off with Cillit bang.

But yeah, dyes are bad.

I'm not the most expert either ^^

The "easiest" way is to choose a kit with the parts already in it...

http://www.frozencpu.com/products/17739/ex-wat-232/Swiftech_H20-320_Elite_Series_Liquid_Cooling_Kit_-_Universal_Mount_H2O-320-Elite.html?tl=g30c321s818

These are some examples... Take a look at what's in there, than pick two more fittings (they are more or less the same, to match the others pick some which are coming from the same brand of the other components ;) ) and a waterblock for the GPU (also in here, they perform almost the same, choose one as it pleases you more). Then, if you want more rad surface, pick another/bigger rad (i recommend alphacool, because of the copper used).

So, choose the components looking at what's inside one of these kits ^^ Remember that the tubing needs to fit (ID and OD) in the fittings, that for each block/rad/res/whatever you need 2 fittings, and for each component at least 2 fans of rad surface... That site is the best one for choosing components, imho, so have a good time messing up ^^

well most of the colors of the kits you suggested are blue the only one that looked good was the EK L360 and i liked the look of the XSPC Raystorm RX360 but too bad the cpu water block is blue can i change it to red (i hope so, the kit looks awesome.) and like the XSPC is for gpu's too right?

Sure, just instead of picking the kit pick the parts in it separately and change what you think needs to be...

Also, check these youtubers, they have really good content:
