[Evaluating] From AIO to Custom loop

[Danioki]

Hello everyone,

 

recently my be quiet silent loop died, so i'm thinking in going all out for a custom loop, and some friend of mine is selling one (he is migrating to a smaller platform).

 

so first my system: 

 

Spoiler

System

• CPU
  Ryzen 5 2600
• Motherboard
  Asus Strix B450 Gaming
• RAM
  2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX
• GPU
  MSI Radeon Vega 56 Air Boost 8G OC
• Case
  NZXT H500i
• Storage
  Crucial P1 1TB + 2x WD SSD + 9TB NAS Synology
• PSU
  Seasonic 1000w
• Display(s)
  LG 4k something
• Cooling
  BeQuiet Silent Loop AIO 280mm

 

and now the custom loop they are selling including the case (1 year of usage):

 

nzxt H700i

Cpu Blcok EK supremacy Evo

Radiatir 240mm Xspc

Radiador 360mm Xspc

Pump swiftech D5

Tubing primo chill

Ek-Xres 140 Revo D5 RGB

Fittings compression Xspc 16 units

Fittings 45° 4

Valvv Xspc

Cubo splitter EK

ID 3/8 OD 5/8

so the only thing i will be missing is the Block for my Vega 56.

 

all of this it's selling for about 350usd (i'm from Chile so it's pretty hard to get by this components)

 

so i want to know if it recommendable for a newbie to get this?, also witch GPU Block do you recommend?.

 

thanks in advance for your support.

If things are difficult to get in Chile then I would triple-check that you have everything you need included in what he is selling you.  You don't wanna get everything setup only to find you have 97% of the pieces you need.  

 

With that said -- if you have the money and want it then you should do it.

the only thing missing is the waterblock for the GPU, because he has Nvidia.

But that isn't critical to the loop.  You can add that later.

I was talking more about having all the fittings that you would need.
