I recently finished a high end Corsair 800D build on here but after seeing what Caselabs has to offer i am ready to make the switch already!
I have some thoughts in my head about how i would like to go about planning this build out and hopefully with the help of others it will come to life.
Case - TH10
Pedestal - Still undecided
Rad Options -
(Option 1)
XSPC EX480 X2 - 1 on each side roof mounted
XSPC EX360 Crossflow X2 - If i go with a pedestal they will be mounted there
Total Cost - $213 Since i already have a EX360 Crossflow mounted in my corsair 800D
(Option 2)
Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 Full Copper 480mm X2 - 1 on each side roof mounted
Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 Full Copper 360mm - If i go with a pedestal they will be mounted there
Total Cost - $428
Fans - Corsair SP120 High Performance High Static Pressure X8 - I already have 6 mounted on my corsair 800D rads
I am cooling the following -
Intel 3770K - I can be anywhere from 4.5GHZ to 5.0GHz
Evga GTX 670 FTW X2 - Little to no overclocking in the plans for these as they already perform so well
Keep in mind i am aware this is overkill but i like overkill and although 4 rads of this size will cool anything i currently own i can think of it as being future proof.
Questions i have -
Am i really out of my mind for going with 4 rads here and should i just stick with 2 480's and save money not buying a pedestal ?
I am currently using a Swiftech MCP655 Pump With Speed Controller so if i do go with 4 rads should i run another to increase flow pressure ?
I would appreciate any advice or thoughts any 1 has on this future build!

It really depends on how "overkill" you want to go. Personally, I've been leaning toward having more rad area with low speed fans to keep things quiet
I'll let the others take on the pump questions.
