480mm x2 custom cooling loop?

[ZmBzRALIVE]

hello, so I'm looking for a way to do a full custom water loop for my GPU and CPU I do have the room and fans.

Here is everything I own:
Case: anidees AI Crystal XL RGB V3 Full Tower
Motherboard: asrock b450 pro4
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x
GPU: MSI 2070 Tri Frozr
Ram: T-force 3200MHz 16GB
Fans: anidees AI Aureola x 9
I was hoping to go pretty cheap if possible, but highly functioning, if you looked at the case then you can see there is 4 fans in the front and 4 in the top which is why I would like to do double 480mm rads even if it's not needed, I also don't have many tools so it would probably have to be soft tubing? any tips on what I should buy? I've never done any form of water cooling before besides AIO which doesn't come in 480mm or I would do that lol

(am looking to do the GPU and CPU)
Edit: I'm not looking to be talked out of my choice, I know what I would like to do, I am simply looking for recommendations on how to do it and with what parts, thank you.
Obviously I am willing to spend a bit but I would rather not spend $1000 on cooling like Corsair tried to sell me with 360mm lol

Thank you!

That’s probably around how much your gonna end up spending, water cooling is expensive

I mean I've seen some post on here from before and they spent maybe $600, thats a huge difference, I just don't know if that stuff is still good.

I had a 480X2 system with a 1950X and 3 1080tis in it at one point.  The 2 480s are a TON of water for your needs, just making sure you understand.  

I agree with soft tubing, much easier.  Don't dye the water if you want it to stay clear.  I Used Clear EK Cryofuel and drained it every 6 months to make sure it was clean.

Never had any issues or leaks but after about 18 months the tubes were slightly cloudy.  Unless you run PURE WATER you will get some build up or residue.

I still have pretty much all the parts in a box somewhere.  If I built another system I would go with a smaller radiator set up for more choices in what case you can use.

yeah, I figured it was too much but it's mainly for looks tbh, and it means I will never have to really upgrade anything other than the blocks, which I'm totally fine with, I'm the kind that wants to buy once and not have to worry with it lol

I plan on running Pure water the whole time.

Is there a specific reason you have to have a 480mm let alone 2? The 3700x doesn't get that hot, a simple 240mm aio can handle the 3700x perfectly fine. That would be absolute overkill for your system, you're not running quad cards or a threadripper. If you have a lack of experience with it and don't want to spend the money to get quality components, you're just going to have problems, in my opinion with a system like that it's not worth it, the amount of money you'd be spending to get just a few degrees cooler than an AIO wouldn't be justified in my opinion(especially if you're just going for looks).

yes, as I stated, I have room for it and I don't have to have to upgrade in the future for any reason, and looks, it would look better than a AIO, and of course I am willing to spend some money just not $1000, even more so when I see people have gotten it much cheaper, I'm even fine at $700 or $800, but that's not $1000.
it is simply because I would rather get it over with in 1 go and not have to spend again 4 years down the line and end up $1800 in water cooling than a simple $800.

Well I used a 480mm primochill rad on my system that had a 3600 and a 2080ti in it, both were overclocked and both had very low temps (idle in the low to mid 30s, stress tests into high 40s-low 50's). So if you are trying to keep the budget low do one 480mm at the start and you can always add a second one later if you want, its super easy to change up soft tubing runs. I used Bykski fittings when I did mine as I found it to be way cheaper, just had to wait for them to show up from china which took about a month.
