Hello,

I'm thinking in start a new pc build since i want change my old 920.

I have in mind something like:

Intel 4770K
EVGA 780 Overclocked ACX (For now, 2 or 3-slide in future)
16GB Dominator Platinum (2800 Mhz)
1x SSD HyperX Kingston (or 2x Raid 0)
1x SSHD Seagate 750GB
ASUS Maximus VI Extreme
Case Corsair 900D
PowerSupply Corsair ax1200i

Now.. i want the best option for Watercooling the entire build and do some overclocking.

I was thinking in this:

RayStorm D5 EX420 kit with XSPC Memory WaterBlock and XSPC Titan/780
RayStorm Twin D5 AX360 kit with XSPC Memory WaterBlock and XSPC Titan/780
RayStorm 750 RX360 kit with XSPC Memory WaterBlock and Titan/780

What should be the best configuration option??? i also want clarify that this is my first time with watercooling, but i want the best of the best.

Any suggest or better build?

Thanks for your time and help.

Really appreciate.

I would highly suggest starting here:http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/277130-29-read-first-watercooling-sticky
Great place to build knowledge base. Watercooling is far more than just buying parts andd putting them together. I can tell you right now, you have good start. One thing reading that guide will reveal to you, is you don't have nearly enough rad space with a single 360 for what you want to do. The TDP of your build will require at least 2x 360, and maybe even a 3rd or a 240.

Good call on the D5 pumps. X20 is a starter baby pump, plus other issues. EX, AX, or RX choice is a lot aboutspace to mount due to tthickness. Performance wise preference order is RX > EX > AX.

If you truly want a full WC build made for OC, have you considered voltage moddd blocks and chipset blocksm. Those produce far more heat than RAM will, especially if OC'ing

Buzz has started you off in the righ direction, have a look through the water-cooling sticky and learn about water-cooling before deciding on any parts.

I disagree with Buzz that a 360mm rad isnt enough (admittedly you would need a thick one with good fans), but I would think 2x360mm is about right on that loop. But of course, dont just take us at our word, look up reviews and do the TDP calculations to make sure. At the very least, that case can support going overkill with rads and budget doesn't seem to be a large concern with this build.

Ya think a 360RX or Monsta can handle that 4770 and 780 OC? Then again, maybe being just one gpu. Personally would be more comfortable with 2, especially if going high OC. I suppose TDP would be under 650w so....ya doable. You know me n my penchant for overkill lmao
