Hey guys,

 

So I have about $600 to do my custom loop! I've been waiting for a while and now is the time to order parts! (Got rid of my second 980) I have absolutely 0 idea what I need. Only thing I know is there is only one waterblock available for my GPU and it is this one.

 

http://www.performance-pcs.com/bitspower-vg-ngtx980am-acrylic-top-with-stainless-panel-clear.html

 

The case I have is a Corsair 900D so I have all the room in the world to do whatever I'd like. One of my friends brother's will be helping me out with the build, but I need to have all of the parts first. While choosing the waterblock for the GPU it is asking me to pick a fitting, which I have no idea which one to choose. My socket type for CPU is LGA 1150.

 

Can anybody help me out in the right direction with everything I would need to order from performancepcs.com? For the bottom radiator I would like a radiator where I can attatch 4 fans to it. Thanks to anyone who walks me through my first custom loop!

I'd go with EKWB for the water blocks. Never heard a bad thing about them.

Didn't realize you had a matrix card. That GPU block will do well for you. But for your CPU block I'd look at getting an EK block

The GPU water block you got has G1/4 threading so you should get  a CPU block, tubing, and fittings that are G1/4 (aka 3/8 ID 5/8 OD).

How do I know which fitting I need for the GPU?

2 per component 1 in 1 out.
