i want to water cool my pc, not because my pc is struggling head wise (well a founders 1080 is hot) or because i just need the extra 5% i will get from overclocking

i want a custom loop because i am a pc enthusiast and want to have a sick water loop like lost of the people

i have a nzxt noctis 450. could i fit something like this in my case?

And i assume i could add a GPU block in the future?

Hear me out - EKWB offers a custom-loop grade AIO with support for adding a GPU block pre-filled in the future.

The kits are pretty good value too, so you can go with that. You can add a GPU block if I remember correctly.

yes it can but please read more about water cooling before getting started. good luck

cpu or gpu?

if cpu, whats limiting you? the cpu itself (bad overclocker) or the temps? temps -> better cooler (preferablly air, dh15 is nice)

gpu? well, im bad at gpus so..

cpu is just a terrible overclocker, im doing it for the gpu, and the experence of constructing a custom loop

If you wanted to add a GPU later all you'd be missing is obviously the GPU block in addition to the two fittings. I'd highly recommend doing your research on block availability before purchasing a GPU though as non reference cards can be difficult to find blocks for.

 

Edit: Noticed you have a Founders 1080 so it shouldn't be an issue at all.

You can get that and order a prefilled gpu block that will simply plug into the CPU loop. Can't say forsure if it will fit in the case. Still on my phone at work.

half of the reason i want this is the experience of building a custom watercooling loop

Yell this kit will do just that.

This kit is basicly EK taking their off the shelf parts and throwing them in a box taking out any guess work.  Its got a fantastic CPU block, pump, radiator and fans all in one package.  The pump it comes with could easily handle expansion (you adding radiator(s) or gpu blocks).
