I started thread about which card shall i pick but I already decided.
So in short
I have and plan to keep it:
- asrock z77 extreme6
- i7 3770K
- xonar stx
- 4 hdds(3x0,5 + 2T - possible shrink to 2 big drives in future) and sdd
- DVD
- ripjawsx CL9 1600 2x8GB
I will sell soon:
- p183, cp-850, nh-d14, vapor-x 7970
What i already decided for(slight change possible but unlikely):
- msi 680 lightning with aquagraFX GTX 680 Lightning(backplate needed?)
- NZXT Switch 810 gunmetal case
Where I need advice
- PSU - was considering Enermax Modu87+ 700W 80 Plus Gold (would it handle possible 2nd msi in the future with similar setup). Do i need to extend cables with third party wires in such big case?
- CPU block - stick with same brand and take for example Aquacomputer cuplex kryos HF
- Radiators and fans for those - not sure if I need more the 3x140 (possible 2nd GPU consequences?)
- What pump for GPU/CPU only(possible 2nd GPU consequences), how to eliminate noise and vibrations from it(Shoggy Sandwich worth it?)
- Wires and connectors(size/material/length)
- Reservoir - preferred 5,25 bay easy to maintain without pump inside(are those safe as those tubes inside the case?)
- Coolant
- RPM controller for fans - ASROCK mobo solution sucks and as i got reply they don't plan to change it though hardware is not limiting them
- safety additions needed/not needed (temperature/flow meter), parts with possible air removal from water, some kind of auto turn off if pump fails etc.
What i don't want to
- All the UV/LED stuff - forget it not my style - if case has it then it's more then i need
- no color coolant(white wires to contrast with black mobo/case)
What I aim for
- silence - crucial as I might move it to sleeping room one day again + I play on open headphones ATH-AD700
- performance @2560x1440 for 1-2years then i could add another gpu if such need arises
- OC headroom - with water and this GPU should be possible
