My current build is in my sig, it's entirely air cooled which I think is ok since it was a first build and I didn't want the complexity of water cooling. Also the air cooler it has cools the cpu just fine, and the gfx card is voltage locked so water cooling it wouldn't give me any performance gains.
But I'd like to kind of start a new build that is able to water cool a cpu and single gpu. I'm wanting to be able to buy a reference gtx685 or whatever it will be called (if it's voltage unlocked) and be able to just buy a water block for it and be good to go.
ATM I can purchase:
Corsaid 800D (i think a big case will help make it easier)
Swiftech pump (please recommend a powerful one)
etc
I'm ready to purchase the case and water cooling components now. I won't be watercooling my gtx680 but water-cooling the cpu i might as well, since it's preety beefy and won't bottleneck whatever flagship gfx card nvidea comes out with next. But I want a gpu loop ready to go so I need sufficient radiators etc.
Can you please recommend a list of items I need. I can do a build log which I always like to do and take photos. There must be some optimum way to set up an 800D for water cooling and i'm sure the experts here know what I need. Thanks for your advice.If all goes well then it'll be a 'new' build but completely ready to just install a new gfx card with gfx card water-block.
I like the look of this build:
but i dont need my ram cooled, and i'm a big proponent of only ever using a single gpu.
