Looking to watercool. Is my 750w PSU big enough to handle it? I will not be adding another gtx 670 in the future but another more powerful single GPU solution as my 670 gets weaker for games in the future.
My system specs is in my sig

Pumps only add about 30W to your loop depending on the pump.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

You don't want it too big, otherwise it won't fit in the the case.

What about a dual loop system? im thinking a resevoir/pump 5.25" bay combo for my cpu with a dual rad. Then a single 120 and dual rad with pump. Would it still be good ?

sorry dave, don't want what too big? the PSU? (was to be funny?)

 

the physical size of PSU isn't what is the OP is askin', but the amount of watts needed

to run the rig. granted the some of the Über wattage PSU can get ooogggeee, but

most can fit within the smallest mATX/ATX case.

you can, but no real advantage to doing a dual loop other than buying two pumps

and allowing two points of failure. a 2x 240x 60 radiators of a single 360x 60 radiator,

1000-1600rpm fans, any CPU/GPU block, a DDC or D5 pump and reservoir of choice

would make it simple and a great experience.
