850watts is PLENTY. You won't need a PSU upgrade for long time with wattage like that.

I do think u can ditch the coolant and use distilled water.... you wont have to clean the gunk from the WB

+1 about the colored coolant. Coolants will stain and gunk up over time, I would strongly suggest you stay away from all froms of them. Most people here use distilled water (found in a grocery store) and Ptnuke. You can also use a silver kill coil instead of the nuke.

If you want to keep some color in your loop, I would suggest you taking a look at colored tubing. Its a lot easier to change if you want to change your colors, and won't stain your components like colored coolants.

Yeah I heard that colored coolant can stain your water block but I also hear its not perminate. In which case im fine with cleaning when I need to change the water. But if its perminate then we may have a problem. The only reason why I dont want to go colored tubing is if I want to get a new case and lets say the fans are blue, but I have red tubing, that would bug me but with the colored coolant I could just get some more colored coolant which is cheaper then getting all new tubing.

Actually at $16 a pop I think the coolant is more expensive than the colored tubing @ $2.25/ft. x 5 ft. = $11.25

I dont have to get the 32oz one I would get the $9.98 one which is good for a few changes. But I got the big one cause I dont plan on switching cases for a long time since I really dont need to.

Permenance depends on the brand. I used PC-ICE with a blue dye bomb (the same as the pre-colored ICE) for a little while, and the dye started to break down and deposit crap everywhere. I was able to clean my tubes, but my reservoir is permanently stained.

Haven't some people reported their tubing getting dyed from the colorant? If so, you'll still have to replace the tubing anyways.

I find replacing tubing is way less expensive in more ways than one than the cleanup or replacing of blocks and pumps and reservoirs.
