Hi! I am building a new system and i am wondering if i can custom watercool the cpu and gpu for about 300$ (and yes i am planing to overclock the hell out of it)

The system is:

cpu: Intel core i7 6700k

motherboard: Asus maximus viii hero

gpu: gtx 980 ti

case: phanteks enthoo evolv atx 

if i make it i am thinking of a blood red transparent fluid

Thanks for your time!!

It should be doable with fairly good parts.

To put it into perspective, my custom loop (pics in the signature) totaled at around $350, and it's using EK blocks which are fairly well regarded.

It will be borderlined, as with a 240mm rad, if I run the fans at lower speeds and run games like witcher 3, my cpu gets close to 60C which is quite warm for a watercooling loop.

Cpu: Ryzen 2700 @ 4.0Ghz | Motherboard: Hero VI x370 | Gpu: EVGA RTX 2080 | Cooler: Custom Water loop | Ram: 16GB Trident Z 3000MHz

PSU: RM650x + Braided cables | Case:  painted Corsair c70 | Monitor: MSI 1440p 144hz VA | Drives: 500GB 850 Evo (OS)

For a single CPU and GPU loop your looking at around $500 USD for a proper quality loop, I would recommend to get a kit and add in a block for the GPU that usually is the best value.

i second the kit and block for the gpu. if it comes with some sort of warranty then that would be golden
