Maybe you should've posted in your post not using the link your specs next time. Your probably situated in the UK.

 

FX 8350

Crosshair 5 Formula-z

Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB DDR3

GTX 680

Evga 750w

 

Why did you put the h100i in the list when you're water-cooling?

yeah sorry just wanted to show all specs and just wanted to see if you guys think i should spen an extra 400 on a custom watercooling loop, or just get two H100i's and no side window?  really indecisive

Why would you need 2 h100i's. You can only cool the CPU, the retentions for the h100i combo pump doesn't fit anything else.

Personally I wouldn't WC this spec list. You could get away with a Z97 based system for the same price (might be a bit of an Intel fanboi)

The fittings you've put into the list might not fit however I'm not exactly sure.

the other H100i i have a custom bracket for my gtx 680

 

i only really beefed out on motherboard for red looks.. couldnt find a cheaper one 

 

went with amd for extra cores for video rendering?

I think that having the h100i is better than running a custom loop if you're not firm with WC very much. The 8350 is pretty decent similar to a 4770K at 140 quid versus 250 quid.

are you trying to copy this person who did attempt successfully to mount the h100i to his GTX 680?

i dont want to spend more then is needed so not sure wether to buy mobo or a cheaper one as its not on show?  do you know of any AM3+ mobo's with a lot of a fan plugs? 

 

ive not seen that post but yeah i guess something simular  

[TheZinex]

thankyou for helping me

 

this is £400 cheaper then the custom loop i had, with nice enough things inside to later swap for a custom loop if i wish?

@TheZinex I think just having the GTX 680 cooled by air is fine enough. Cooling an over-clocked i7 4770K over 4.0Ghz will be very helpful however there are some cooler that provide a better if not near enough the same cooling potential.

[TheZinex]

what about 

 

Intel Core i7 Extreme 4930K 3.4GHz Socket 2011 Ivybridge 6 core hyper-threading enabled?

 

with the 

 

Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4, Intel X79, S 2011

 

£400 more but if performace is there, better to get performance then a custom cooling loop
