Watercooling Help

Hey peeps!

Was wondering if you could help me out. I'm building a new rig within two weeks and it will be water cooled. Can you help me with some configuring issues? I need a:

- Radiator

- Block (CPU/GPU)

- Pump/Reservoir

- Tubing

 

Two things, can I just buy random parts and throw them together (assuming that they are of the same metal)? and can you help me out with  some prices? My budget is about $250

Thanks fam

Buy an AIO and your set!

 

 

An AIO includes a radiator and a cpu block. Don't you need a pump and a reservoir?

Nope, its a sealed unit ready to go, less chance of leakage too

you'll find that custom water-cooling isn't cheap. $250 can buy very little for what your needs are.

kinda need a build list to get an accurate estimate on watercooling.

I'm highly considering buying that but what if i want to throw in an extended res? Can I just put it into the loop?
