Hey all, I am looking into building a new PC and am going for a fully custom loop, water cooled PC. The problem is I have no idea how to do this, and don't trust myself to do this. I will need to be cooling two GPU's and a CPU, specs below. What prices are we getting into, I need the total build to be generally below $3,000. Looking to hire someone to build the PC for me. Preferably in the Denver area in Colorado, but if it must be shipped I have to use Paypal. Thanks, any recommendations?

I'm a little confused. You said you were going to go fully custom, yet you've included a Corsair H100i in the list.

 

Looks like you can get all of the parts you want for well under $3k, but there's no way you'll get a full water loop added into that and still be under $3k. Add on top of that, the costs of labour for building a rig of that size and you're looking at a hefty sum. I'd guess at least $4k. But I'm from the UK so I've no idea if that's right.
