I've decided to go watercooling for my new rig and am trying to plan things out before purchase. Trying NOT to be overwhelmed with all the info from which products to buy, I am stuck on if I should run 1 loop or 2.
I will 'only' be cooling my CPU and GPU, i7-920 and a single 5870. My case is the Corsair 800D and will be throwing in a few extra [undecided how many] 120mm's on top of the 2 140s it comes with.
I 'might' crossfire down the road and then, I know I would most likely need 2 loops to separate the cpu/gpu, but for now, I don't see a need for 2 5870s. With that in mind, what would some people suggest as far as a setup.
My budget is around $400 and possibly could push to $500 if needed. I originally thought is a pretty decent budget for cooling until I started to see how much waterblocks and all the connections can add up to.
Please advise!
Thanks.
