Hi,

As Chirstmas is coming up, I looking to get a new rig.

I have thought up what parts to get, and I will list them below. I want a custom loop for water cooling, as I like the asthetics, and once I save up, I will be upgrading to water cooled dual SLI GTX 980.

 

Also, I am in Australia, so prices are INSANE!!

 

 

Here is the computer parts I have thought up:

Don't know if they are available in AU, but the Swiftech H220-X or H240-X would be a good start for custom loop. (You may be able to get a merchant like PCCaseGear, who stock Swiftech parts, to special order a unit for you if they are not generally available.) Both AIO are designed to be extended and include an Apgee XL cpu block connected to a radiator with a built in reservoir and pump.

It it powerfull enough to add two gpu blocks and another rad later on? Or will I have to put another pump in?

I can't find any hard specs on the pump but a perusal of the Swiftech forums indicates that the MCP30 pump (used on both the H220-X and H240-X) can handle two gpu blocks and another radiator - http://forums.swiftech.org/viewtopic.php?p=12411&sid=ae211061632649e2adc11c3a7b6f4385#p12411.
