looking to build custom loop

[bobfreeman]

hey guys. i have a budget of around $650 us dollars, but i might be able to stretch it to $700 if 650 isn't possible. i'd like to build a custom loop to cool my cpu and gpu's. specs are i7 5960x, rampage v exreme, 2 gtx 980 sc. if possible, i'd like to use an ek supremacy evo (clear one) and ek acetal gpu blocks. my main concerns are that i want it to be really quiet and look really cool, thanks

edit: i'd appreciate suggestions, thank you

edit: i'd like a 360mm and 240mm radiator, and clear tubing

Until you can safely spend about 1000, dont do it

Edit: very basic brake down

Each block 125 bucks x3 =375

Each rad (avg) 100 x 2 200

Fittings i would guess at about 200-300

A good reservoir 80

A pump 100 for a good d5 variable speed

Extra fans 100

375

200

200

80

100

+100

1055 bucks

I think he's asking what WC components he should use.

i was asking for help picking parts

I think he's asking what WC components he should use.

well, ek ZMT tubing is good, with bitspower fittings, a D5 pump, and pretty much any resevoir

 

tbh if he cant choose his own components he shouldnt be building a loop

there is a lot to know about which is compatible with what parts, especially if you dont want a leak to ruin your multi thousand dollar PC

 

and the noise depends mostly on the fans you use

well you didnt say what kind or colour tubing you want, what size and how many rads fit in your case, how large you want your reservoir, hard tubing or soft tubing, etc...

If he can't figure the parts choice himself, then he shouldn't water cool.

Watercooling not worth it, until your system costs less than 2-2.5k $.

And there you should be ready to spend $ 1k+ just for wc loop.

Mayhems has a £45 D5 pump and around £10 world shipping, around $85
