Hello everyone! I am planing on doing a water cooling loop for my computer (CPU + Maybe RAM, Excluding GPU). I used the EK loop configurator to create the loop but I would like to see if their are any better and or cheaper loop. My current specs are:
Motherboard - Asus Z170 Pro Gaming/Aura
CPU - Intel i5 6600K
Case - NZXT S340 Elite
Other:
GPU - GTX 1070 Founders Edition
And here is what EK would like me to get:
EK-Vardar EVO 120ER Black (2200rpm)
EK-CoolStream SE 240 (Slim Dual)
EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 RGB PWM (incl. sl. pump)
EK-Supremacy EVO - Nickel
EK-RAM Monarch X4 - Nickel
EK-RAM Monarch Module - Black (2pcs)
EK-HD Tube 10/12mm 500mm (2 pcs)
EK-HDC Fitting 12mm G1/4 - Black
EK-ATX Bridging Plug (24 pin)
EK-HD Tube D.I.Y. Kit 10&12mm
The total cost of that would be over $500. So is their any same quality of a different brand that would be able to lower the cost?
Also is there any things I should watch out for? Things I should not get/buy? This will be my first build and I would like to do hardline because I have a lot of time and would like to make it look nice.
I would also like not to pay over $300 but if its a couple $'s over that's fine.
Thanks for all the help!
