Stuck Between A Custom Loop and Air Cooling...

[DroPouT1999]

Like the title says, i am stuck between a custom loop. The custom loop would be for the CPU only until i had enough money to upgrade my GPU. I know a custom loop is overkill for my CPU but, watercoolng looks badass... and expensive. I mainly want a custom loop to sty a bit future proof, if you think i should go with air cooling please will you recommend one for a 4.7ghz+ OC on my FX 6300.

 

 

Thanks in advanced, Dom.

 

My current PC:

AMD FX 6300,

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5

8gb DDR3 Dual Channel 1866mhz,

Sapphire Radeon 7850 Overclocked, (Soon to be paired/Replaced to HD 79X0)

OCZ 650watt 80+ Bronze Non-Modular PSU,

2TB Seagate Barracuda Sata 3 7200RPM 6Gb/s HHD,

Fractal Design Arc Midi R2,

wouldn't the middle be an AIO water cooler?

Well generally if you're unsure whether or not to watercool, you shouldn't. Also I would keep the money towards a system upgrade, with those specs the cooling wouldn't cost much less than the computer itself.

For that build a custom loop isn't worth it. Just use air cooling or a closed loop.

If you have the money to watercool, upgrade your system first.
