Default New WC Build - should I change anything?

Hello All,

I am planning to setup my system with a water cooling system; first time for me. I'd like all your help before I place my order.

This is my current setup:

Asus P6T Deluxe
Intel i7 940
Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 295
Velociraptor 300GB
G.Skill 6GB GDDR3
Corsair 850W PSU
Antec Nine Hundred Two

This is what I have in mind to order:


VID-NX295 (GeForce GTX 295) [no nozzles]
Swiftech Apogee GTZ Extreme Performance CPU Waterblock
C&C P6T Full Board Water Block Set
HW Labs Black Ice GTX360 - Black
Swiftech MCP655™ 12 VDC PumpPreamble
Swiftech MCRES Micro Revision 2 reservoir
Durelene PVC tubing 7/16in. ID 5/8in. OD
Scythe "ULTRA KAZE" 120 x 38 mm Case Fan - High
Bitspower G 1/4in. Silver Shining Fitting for 1/2in. Tubing
Petra'sTech PT_Nuke Concentrated Biocide (10mL)

Is there anything here unnecessary or something I should change? I'd like to be able to safely overclock to 3.8 ghz, and a nice overclock to the vid card.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Dave

I wouldn't bother with the full board water block set. Try out just the CPU and video card first. You'll also need 6 fans to go with that radiator as well.

You might want to consider a GTX480 with all that you are cooling. Slap some high CFM fans on it and it should handle it well. Other than that everything looks good.

Preferred - i doubt it. You'll have a very hard time mounting 2 480's on a antec 900.

Someone on this board gave me the advice to go with an Antec 1200 and it's the best decision i have made. It will never fit in an antec 900.
