First time watercooling looking for tips/alterations

[urworstnit3m3r]

Okay so here's what i am looking at doing, almost everything black with white tubing.

What am I looking for in replies, general advice or things not to do or things you might change.

Also this will be folding at night, which is one of the reasons I want to watercool and do plan on adding a second 760 and overclocking both.

 

• CPU Intel Core i7 3770 non k @ 4.3GHz
• Motherboard ASRock z77 extreme 4
• Ram Patriot Viper Xtreme 8GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz
• Hard Drive 128GB OCZ vertex4, 250GB WD 7200rpm, 1x500 WD 7200rpm

New Items:

Corsair 750D

Evga 760 one for now due to budget

 

4 NF-F12s two in top rad in push, two in front in pull?

3770 non-K at 4.3Ghz? How is that possible? I'd change that part to a 3770K. Also, if your budget is restricted, wait for a while, and stock up. A 760 isn't worth watercooling. I'd much rather scrap the whole watercooling process and put that money into a better GPU.

I don't see a point in watercooling unless you upgrade to a unlocked CPU

Looks good, though IMO a 760 isn't really worth watercooling, neither is a locked i7.

 

Since you've got white tubing and are going for clear coolant, why not use distilled water and a kill coil or PT nuke?

It is possible to bump it up a little, at lease with my board.

But what's the point of spending so much on a custom loop when a 25$ 212EVO would do just as well?

I already am using a large air cooler, Thermaltake frio. Are the new 700 series not as loud as the older 570 gpu fans?

Based on post, I have chosen not to watercool, saves me money anyways, Probly just get a pair of NF-f12's for my cooler.

I'd say get just one and see if it's enough first. If it's enough for the heatsink, just getting a NF-S12A for a rear exhaust fan next to the cooler might make more of an impact than a second fan for push/pull.
