Planning to get WATER COOLER for my CPU
Suggestions :)
Budget 6K

P.S my PSU is 750 W and GPU's recommended PSU is also 750
So do I have to get a new PSU?


My SPECS

Processor - Intel i7 4770K 3.5GHZ
GPU - Sapphire ATI Radeon R9 290 TRI-X OC 4GB
RAM - Crossair VENGENCE 8GB
Motherboard - ASUS Z-87 K
PSU - Crossair RM 750W

Should look at the EKWB Predator 240 kit, Excellent kit. You should be fine with your PSU as well.

You're fine with the psu you have, unless it's really really stretchy. We need more info to recommend a cooler. We'll need to know what case you have / what mounting options your case has.

 

No point in recommending a cooler that won't fit.

Good point, I assumed he had a case that would support 240mm rad since he had a decent system spec.

Yeah I never assume, and I don't like recommending something unless I'm reasonably sure of compatibility/fit

Also, a single slot rad, even thick ones aren't worth the cost. A comparably priced air cooler would work as well or better in most cases. Hell even the cheap 212 evo works about as good as the 120v
