A few Water Cooling questions, first build.

[Horyuu]

This is both my first Water Cooling build as well as my first computer build in general, so I apologize for any seemingly simple or unnecessary questions beforehand.

That aside, I am currently acquiring the parts for my build and trying to figure out water cooling for the EVGA GeForce GTX 780. The EVGA waterblock seems to be unavailable everywhere that I look, except for the one pre-installed on the card. I was trying to determine what other companies have full plate waterblocks for that particular gpu?

Also, I have been looking for the right pump and reservoir. I was first going to do a pump reservoir combo like the XSPC X20 750 V4, but recently I have seen posts that say the pump should be lower in the case.

My case will be the Cooler Master Cosmos 2. I will be cooling the CPU (AMD FX-8320 Black Edition) and GPU (EVGA GeForce GTX 780) only. I am thinking a total of 120.3 or 120.4 in terms of radiators.

Any thoughts, concerns, No don't do this-es would be appreciated.

There are a few stickiesyou should read through... its important.

However, to answer your questions, i *think* the EVGA WaterBlock is actually a swiftech http://www.swiftech.com/gpu_full_cover.aspx

And 120.3 for GPU +CPU will be a bit on the louder side , if you can do 120.4, do it

I do not think a 120.4 will cut it if you plan to really push this system. the 8320 is hot

If you can do a 120.3 & a 120.2 I think it would be optimum.

Make sure to check compatibility list before you buy.

Res/Pump bay combos are harder to bleed but work

I personally like the tube/pump combos like pictured

As stated above, read the sticky's and try to get an understanding of what it is you are trying to achieve

Good luck
