Hello all, and thanks in advance. I am going to take the plunge and watercool. I have read the stickies, and been browsing parts, making plans etc.
Here is my first attempt at listing the parts I want to get. Open to any and all critique you're willing to offer.
First, my system will be in the Corsair Air 540 case, and I want to cool the i5-4670k and a gtx 780 in the loop. I am looking at a 360mm rad and a 240mm rad.
Questions:
1. I'm thinking of ordering this kit and adding the gpu parts to it. Will the pump be enough if I'm adding another 240mm rad and the gpu block? Any other thoughts? Are kits like these generally decent or am I better off ordering individual parts?
RayStorm Twin D5 AX360 WaterCooling Kit
2. For the GPU, I will be getting a 780. What's the difference if any between these two gpu blocks other than one will fit a 780Ti?
Razor GTX Titan / 780 / 780Ti
Razor GTX Titan / 780
3. Do you recommend the backplate for the 780?
Razor GTX Titan / 780 / 780Ti / 770 Backplate
4. In order to keep the system quiet, as mentioned above, I'm using two rads, the 360mm in the kit, plus this one
EX240 Dual Fan Radiator
Is this a good choice?
5. Is XSPC a decent brand, or what company(s) should I be looking at?
I'll have more questions, but the answers to these will be a great start, thank you in advance!
