Help Choosing a Water Cooler

I'm building a computer around a price point of CAD/AUD $3,200 (US $2400) (not including monitors, and the water cooler), what level of water cooling system should I probably got for? This is a rough plan of the build, ill be slightly modifying some bits on it soon, though only minor things. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wvtJvK

It really depends on your tolerance for noise and your goals for overclocking. If you want something quiet and can handle an overclocked CPU and GPU, custom loop is the way to go.

Do you know of any good tutorials about making custom loops?

Start here.

 

 

Honestly, I did a lot of reading before coming up with what I built. The problem is that once you get going, you're always going to find something you want to change. That's part of the fun. Websites like http://xtremerigs.net/ have great reviews on watercooling components, as does http://thermalbench.com. Nothing beats doing a ton of your own homework to get a good picture of what's going on, what's needed and what's not, and the whys and hows.
