hi everybody

 

I'm finally upgrading my computer so I'm going for a I7 4790k and passing from a gtx 960 to a 970.

and on top of all I'm going for a whole loop water cooling. for a pump reservoir combo I think with going with this one: http://www.ekwb.com/shop/pumps-and-accessories/pumps/ek-d5-series-pump/ek-dbay-d5-pwm-incl-pump.html

 

after what 970 is good choice for watercooling and what cooler is good any brands or types?

 

I think going for a big beefy radiator mounted on the top of my nzxt210 case

 

could you please help me out

 

thanks a lot

You can't really do much with that case. You can fit a 240mm rad up front if you remove the hard drive bays and a 120mm at the rear. The top fan mounts are separated in a way that a radiator can't be installed. If I were you, I would invest in a good case and then watercool. If you still want to watercool with your current case, then you should go with ek since they have the largest selection of watercooling products and are very high quality.

Much better choice. I would go with the Define S since it is optimized for watercooling and cheaper.
