I am looking to water cool my 4770k and EVGA SC+ 980 ti. What setup should I get? I was looking at clear acrylic tubes with a dark blue fluid and a mostly black water block setup. My question is what is the cheapest pump I can use? And how many rads should I try to get?

 

I have an Enthoo Pro M with a full window on it. I was thinking only slim rads and is ONE 240mm radiator enough for my system? 

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

So like what's your display set up? Do you already have a G-sync display?

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

What games or other software do you need to run?

Usually you want atleast one 120mm rad per component and one extra to that, ideally a 360mm setup would be best especially if you plan to do overclocking or more for dead silent operation. As for pump the lowest I personally suggest is the DDC, but to give you an idea a hardline loop is going to cost you around $500 USD starting to get a good quality loop.

No. I have three 21' 1080p Lenovo regular monitors. Nothing special.

Well here's this

 

Otherwise I'd maybe invest in like 40" 4k display over water cooling, but that's just me
