Custom Water-cooling Support Needed

[Ninjakiw1]

So I'm planning on build a new pc sometime in 2027, yes its a while away and parts might change but i wanna get an idea of what I'm building like i did with my current setup as well. I want my next build to be more of a showpiece/end-game build, as opposed to my current one which was just a desktop, not cheap but not made for show either. Part of that process is that I wanna do custom water-cooling for that new build, but i got some questions regarding that.

 

- Since apparently Corsair are the only ones to have a full configurator for custom water-cooling I'm likely going with that for simplicity in terms of getting all i need and compatibility and whatnot, however they do not have a GPU water block for the 9070xt that I'm planning on using, Can I use the Alphacool Core RX 9070 XT Aorus Elite with all the stuff from Corsair or would i need to use like a 5070/5070ti that Corsair makes water blocks for?

Also if anyone has ideas for other perhaps cheaper or easier to get in Denmark cases, but with a similar style, i love the glass side and front panel with the radiator at the back/top

Then I think you're going about this all wrong. By the time you decide to do this, the CPU will be 4 years old and replaced twice and the GPU almost considered midrange. 

 

The money spent on a custom loop for these parts would be better spent on simply better parts for the long run. Unfortunately, custom loops rarely make financial sense unless you're cooling current gen, high end parts and don't have to skimp elsewhere.

just be prepared to spend like $1000 on a loop imo ied do cpu as well. well a year not too far thing will change. 

 

i dislike corsair water blocks and pumps rads are fine thow probably fittings as well.

Not really the point, yes the system will get outdated, they always will, my current setup whilst never high end was quite decent for the time it was build, which was right when the 3080 came out. The point is to make a quote unquote showcase build, my current system I've had for about 5 years, and the plan would be something similar for the next one or maybe a bit longer since I'd be making it slightly better from the beginning
