Custom loop in a 460X

[SaintSilver]

Is it possible? 

I am building my new system tomorrow
Going with a 
1700x 
Gigabyte Gaming K5 
and a 1080Ti 
and i cant find custom loops with this case i can get a 570X but I dont like this whole glass think i was using Fractal design for the last 3 years and a got a cooler masters masterbox5 case so i can get used to the window a bit 
( I am not a fan of RGB nor the whole showoff my system thing prefer having a fan there to exhust hot air from my GPU) 
So any tips? 
BTW thinking about going with EKWB aluminium parts would like to hear if anybody has it ive seen Jays video about it but dont see actual real world problems and uses with it from home users..

Yes you can watercooling in the 460X space is a little tight in there but very doable, I would suggest in that case to go with a 360mm rad in the front to ensure you have adequate cooling especially if you plan to overclock.

WOW! this looks tight and epic at the same time 
another question  is a CORSAIR RM 650i gold will be good for this type of system? 
and how about aluminium parts?

Yes the RMi is a good unit for the build as for the aluminum kits you will need to get the A240G kit just make sure your model of GPU is a reference design or in the compatibility list. Personally I would get an extra rad depending on the components you have for extra cooling.

thats the kit i want to go with problem is its coming with a 240-280 rad inside to bad i cant ask EK to switch it to a 360 rad that way i wont have to wait a month for both parts to come but 1 for the kit and then another week for tubing and bending kit

The aluminum fluid gaming kits only come with soft tubing you cannot add hardline tubing unless you are to get enough of those mulitple GPU hardline fittings connector kits.

this looks like something for multi GPU im only using one or i can use it for the 460X since there are a lot of small spaces wont it be better to bend and cut them myself?

There are no hardline fittings that are compatible with the Fluid gaming kits other than getting a bunch of the GPU hardline connector kits since they are aluminum based. You cannot mix any other component or fitting that isn't designed for the fluid gaming kits.

There are no aluminium hardline fittings that you can buy individually, only the ones from the GPU hardline kit. You cannot mix regular hardline fittings from EKWB's regular lineup with the fluid gaming stuff or you risk having galvanic corrosion with the copper and aluminium in the same loop.
