As cheap as possible but im not afraid to spend a lot (~800 ish)

 

Also I dont think my case can accommodate 2 360s I believe it can do 1 140/120(Rear) 1 240/280(Top) 1 360(Front)

Do you think I can get away with a 280 rad and a 360? My case cant hold 2 360's also should I get a new PSU?

I just upgraded my CPU block to an EK Supremacy EVO. I got the clear version which looks amazing because you can see the coolant flowing through the block. It was also SUPER easy to install which was a big plus because my prior block turned into quite a headache when trying to install it. Yes a 360 and 280 should be good enough since your limited in radiator space. Get the thickest Rads you can fit for max cooling potential and some quality static pressure fans.

 

As for the GPU blocks I have the EK full cover Acetal+Nickel and backplate. Again super quality and easy to install. EK really is a huge step above the competition when it comes to blocks IMO.

1) Shure

2) It really depends which psu you have and its wattage and quallity, 750w will do fine
