 Let me restate it to you. I am a newbie to pc water cooling. I have a gtx 980 and a fx-8350 black edition. I want to have a cpu and Gpu closed loop water cooling system.

Sorry if my first post is gibberish.

Get a NZXT G10 bracket and a closed loop liquid cooler for your GPU and just use another closed loop liquid cooler for the cpu.

[awesomenatorrad]

The nzxt g10 bracket does not support the gtx 980 from what I read in the compatibility list.

I am currently looking at the ekwb website for more info and pricing.

bish wut, so you want a loop including both your cpu and gpu but you dont want a custom loop? 

[acidprototype]

^ yeah im getting this feeling to

If you want 2 custom loops, buy the EK stuff you are looking at. But if you want 2 separate watercooling setups without a custom loop then you are going to have to get a all in one liquid cooler for both your cpu and your graphics card. 

So which one is it? Im happy to help but you got to make sense before anyone can give advice.

They never update the compatibility list. It probably is but I'd wait until someone else tries it before doing it. Or wait until the Corsair GH10.

get a kraken g10 and two kraken x61.

I'm actually new to water cooling as well, and I'm trying to do it the easy way using an Alphacool Kit (seems best price/matching part compatibility-wise for newbies), for my 4770k and when I can get a GTX 980, unfortunately the cheapest I've found for that set is closer to the 400-500 range, I don't really think you can get a decent setup for your price range custom water-loop-wise unless you go used or something and that's an entire different world of problems.

 

Anyways this is what I have picked out (your cpu might need more cooling area as well, since don't those run fairly hot even at stock speeds?)

(And I"m going to add another 4x120mm 60mm rad to that as well and a different reservoir to replace that junky one that comes with the kit....)

 

Best of luck, but I think the aio kits will suit you better for that pricing and not being used to building them.
