I have gone though and build what i feel is a decent computer I intend on it being water cooled using a custom loop ( Will post the parts as well below the components.) I am looking to run three monitors doing 1080P gaming. I am hoping to get advice on what I could change I am tying to keep the cost around $2200. I am looking to get a consistent 60 FPS in most AAA titles.

The pieces i am useing for the water cool loop are as follows

 

SwiftTech

 

MCP665-B - pump $94

Apogee XL - CPU Bock $65

Komodo-NV-GTX9 -GPU Block $160

2 MCRx40-QP - Rads $130 ($65 each)

⅜” x ½” Lok-Seal™ Compression Fitting $40 ($4 each)

Tubing $5

 

FrozenQ

LF Reaction 250MM Cylinder Reservoir $110

Not sure if i will really be needing the dual rads but that is port of the reason i am posting this to see where i can cut costs.

dont bother water cooling a non k cpu and you may want to look at getting a fury instead of a 980
