Some basic questions

I'm wondering how much would water cooling cost me for my PC and how big radiator I should have.

I'm using i7 4790 and R9 270X right now, but once I go to R9 390 I will concider buying custom water cooling for entire PC. I have NZXT S340 case and wondering if 240mm radiator would be enough to cool CPU + GPU. Also, what temperatures can I expect from CPU and GPU at full load with 240mm radiator and 2 fans?

Does anyone know estimated prices for everything that I need (including CPU and GPU block) ?

Personally I wouldn't recommend it unless your planning on overclocking since you have a locked CPU there isn't any real benefit it gets from it. For a single CPU and GPU loop usually it's recommended to have 120mm of rad space per component and one extra 120m space for a total of 360mm. 

 

As for cost though in general a quality CPU and GPU loop will start at around $500 USD.

Well I have Kraken X31 for CPU now, but temperatures on CPU get to 70°C at 100% load with prime95.

And I was also looking for temperatures of R9 390, and can get up to 80°C fast, so I was thinking of buying water cooling for both of them.

Another reason is my kinda new NZXT S340 case and water cooling would look pretty cool in there

But there is no way for me to get 360mm radiator. Maybe 280 with 2x 14cm fan because that's maximum space in this case.

But 500$ is like 150$ out of my price range so I don't think I will get it any time soon. But thanks for fast reply

One tip don't use P95 for stress testing the CPU it tends to over do it and give unrealistic results with the newer versions, something like Adia 64 or Realbench would be better options.
