Recommended Case/Parts

So I'm planning on getting a 1080 Ti seahawk which has a EK waterblock on it I also wanna add my CPU into a full loop. I also plan to get a 7700k and a ASUS Maximum board, would something like this work?

yes, that kits can be fine, you'll need more matching fittings for the GPU install.

also look into the P280 kit or use the XE280 radiator and piece the kit together.

 

recommend the fractal design define s for a front intake/rad installation.

yeah that will be fine but you'll need extra fitting and tubing.

 

my recommended case is the Fractal Design Define S, plenty of room inside for another radiator if you need it in the future.

What's the downside of buying a kit, would it be more benficial to just buy all the seperate parts? I'm a noob so. 

By fittings do you mean this?

the P280 has the PE rad, not the XE rad. they do not offer a XE kit..

 

Compression fittings: EK-ACF Fitting 10/13mm (3/8'' - 1/2'') - G1/4 Nickel (6 pcs) you nee 8 for CPU/GPU loop

I have a Corsair 450D so if I was gonna get a new case I would probably look at a full size one.

I see, so it would be better to piece it together myself?

Ok these are the parts so far, the Titan XP cooler is supposed to work correct?

i have a choice between the Reference or the Seahawk and may just pick up the reference since I'm watercooling anyhow.
