Hi im new to watercooling just did my first custom loop.

Couldnt beleive how easy bending tube is....

.

my 980 ti will hold up but thinking for upgrade potential in future.

Anyways the real reason for this post is... which gpu to buy. seen a few gpu 1080 to 1080 waterblocked factory

From $1000-$1500 in local currency($200 wBlock for the $1000 version or $1500 version has waterblock version? is the better voltage/higher diimmed gpu overclock worth the money?

no re sale on a card with factory waterblock imo also?

opinions

anything im missing 

 

3800X, Corsiar 32gig 3200mhz LPX, Asus Hero X570. 2080ti black edition

You don't need it, but if you want, most watercoolers are made for founders edition cards.

or just get the MSI Sea Hawk X

Just Checked

EVGA 1070 FTW Edition for 369USD from Jet.com using code SHOP10

Jet.com doesn't charge sales tax where I'm from, so it's an incredible deal

I would say the best gpu for watercooling is a rx 480 because it not only is cheap but already has a high clock speed so if you did overclock it you would get extremely high speeds and the rx 480 is cheaper and the 8gb variant is like buying a better gtx 1060.... I think. Hope this response helped some way.

Except watercooling an RX480 would probably cost the same amount as buying a 1070/1080, both of which absolutely smash the 480, lol

Where I live it wouldn't cost about the same as a 1080 or 1070. A gtx 1080 where I live is about $800 for a 1080 turbo and everything eagles costs $1000+ but I know that maybe where you live nvida graphics cards might be cheaper.
