Hi, i want to ask for some help. I've never done a water cooling before, so i please for serious advises.

I want to watercool CPU and GPU (exact specs later) and i'd like to now, how many and how big rads should i use. Price of whole kit must be reasonable of course. Colors black and red.

Oh, and i live in EU (Poland to be honest), so don't link me american shops please :)

Here's me rig:

Mobo: ASroch Z97M Pro4

CPU: Intel I5 4690K at @stock (will be overclocked)

GPU: Zotac GTX 770 AMP! 4GB

RAM: G.SKILL RipjawsX 2x4GB 2133MHz CL9

PSU: XFX Pro 850W

Case: Cooler Maste CM Storm Enforcer

 

Sorry for my english :)

I would get 360, 430, or 480mm of radiator space, with a thickness of 45-60mm.

Upgrade your rig first because if you make a custom loop you will want to keep it for a while without changing any part of the loop. I woul recommend at least a gtx 970 and an i7 4790k if your going to watercool otherwise your throwing your money away

Its when dragons have so much sex that the cpu cant handle it

Unless you make the rad external, the only thing you'll be able to do is a 120mm rad on the rear, and there is really no point doing a custom loop just for that. 

 

Perhaps you could take out the optical drive bay (it's riveted in though) and ghetto it?

 

although have a look here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1038918/the-cooler-master-storm-enforcer-club/140 someone has managed a rad in the top, but just...

In a cm storm enforcer? i've got one, and there's only room for a 120 on the rear. This case has been extremely disappointing...

He will need a new case or it won't be worth making a custom loop, so I assume he is.

Yeh i'd agree, this case really isn't for a custom loop.
