Hi, as the topic title says it all I need help. I am about to build a new PC. The thing is that this will be my first attempt in incorporating water cooling on a PC. I have seen many videos about this topic including the ones in this forum but being honest its kind of hard knowing exactly what you need. I have all the parts I think I need but the purpose of me making this post is to let people see what I have and if something is wrong to message me (this is for the water cooling system only).

 

Here are the specs I am going to have on the PC:

 

Case: Corsair 900d

 

Motherboard: ASRock x79 Extreme11

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-4960X Ivy Bridge-E 3.6GHz (hex-core)

 

GPU: EVGA GTX Titan x3

 

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 1500 1500w (80 PLUS GOLD)

 

Fans: Corsair Air Series SP120 Quiet Edition x17

 

RAM: 64 GB Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR-3 2133

 

SSD: Samsung 840 500GB

 

Water Cooling: No clue (this is where I need help)

 

I was watching    

    earlier but I just don't know if I am covering everything Linus is talking/explaining about. Here are all the parts I think complete the water cooling system loop:

I hope you guys can help me complete the water cooling system, thanks for the support. If you you have a suggestion leave it in the comments area or send me a message. Thank you and have a nice day.

 

P.S    I know that my system is a little bit expensive, high end, and its a waste of money, but I have my own reasons to make this PC.

Unless you spend hours and hours planning, reviewing every single part, you cannot expect your first build to be the best. When someone has this much money to burn, I would say to spend a quarter roughly and build a much more modest PC first so you can understand overclocking and watercooling and so on a lot better, without the huge loss to parts that probably aren't worth it.

I have build many PC's in the past, I just want to try water cooling on one and see how it performs. And yes you are right regarding the specs and cost, but I pretend to use this PC for multitasking and gaming.

you didn't pick a reservoir, and with a 900D id go with 2 480mm rads, top mounted and basement.

 

oh, and the koolance stuff comes with mounting hardware so you don't need the last 2 things on your list.

 

and for some good 'how to' watercool videos youtude search dazmode.

Instead of posting a list of URLs it better to just post a bullet pointed parts list. Most people won't both opening 12 tabs and having to traverse through them.

 

To start of with, you will save a lot on postage by going with just one on-line watercooling retailer. A list of them can be found in the FAQ.

 

I would suggest doing that to start off with.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.
