I want to make a new build and I want to do water-cooling for the CPU and GPU on this one, this is my 1st time doing water-cooling since this is an expensive build i want to go whit  good water-cooling equipment looking to spent around $200-$400 USD   but try to keep low, not like if it was for a show  just high quality, good protection,easy maintenance,good looks and red tubes not red color liquid since i have not herd good things about that. I have spent days trying to figure out how this works but, I do not want to buy things and they are not compatible. the pc parts are below. by the way, any tips would be great.

Motherboard is too over the top, get one around $200-300 and you can spend more and get higher quality parts for your custom loop.

I just finished building my water loop, 3 240mm rads, 6 SP120 fans, 1 CPU block, 2 GPU blocks, and a pump/res combo, and a bunch of fittings cost me about $700 USD. It adds up pretty quickly.

okay ill see which one I can use then.

around how much would a high quality loop cost?

It can vary, usually though if you're cooling a high end gpu and cpu it would probably be at least $400+ it shouldn't be too crazy though as it's a single gpu so you save a good bit not having to do 2.

Yea, that motherboard is a bit too overkill in my opinion. You could go for the Asus Maximus VIII Hero and still have an amazing motherboard whilst saving money. That saved money can be allocated to your custom loop. Give me a few minutes and I can compile a list of watercooling components that would be compatible with your system. The only thing I cannot guarantee is radiator compatibility with the InWin 909, but I'll try my best.

Do I need like a radiator for each part that im cooling? and in the InWin 909 you can fit a 280mm on the front (35mm height max), 240mm on the bottom (35mm height max), 120 by the cpu area (35mm height max)  and a 360 on the back (60mm height max) by the way is this even a good case? i have not sen anyone with an inwin 909 using it as a normal case only mods for shows it looks good but if there are any other cases that have a lot of glass and look nice  and good for water cooling please feel free to tell me
