Best $2500-$2700 Cosair 900D Water Cooled PC

Masoo2 · Jul 28, 2013

Could someone build me the best (As in performance and cooling, a nice combo of the both) PC they can using the Cosair 900D Case? (I just really like it). I already have 2 builds made in this budget, but both are M-ITX using the Bitfenix Prodigy, and have no room for SLI. Things to look for including maximum water cooling, SLI, and graphics cards with more than 2GB VRAM.

Thanks

A Pentium 3 and the new HD 4650 will be the best thing you can get for that budget

Purpose?
Is the 900D included in the budget?
Do you need a monitor/os/keyboard/mouse?
Are you making your own custom loop? Is that included in the budget?

realchaos :

900D In budget, no mouse/keyboard/monitor, OS, maybe, just maybe. Purpose for gaming, editing, and some rendering. Gaming is the main purpose, but anything that will help with the others is greatly accepted. Preferably LGA 1150, if possible.
Loop within the package, but not a premade (Like getting just some corsair H100s)

Picked asus hero motherboard and platinum memory for aesthethics.
If you want red/black/silver colour scheme the gigabyte ud4h motherboard and corsair vengeance pro (red and silver) fit realy good together.

I would personally do this - you don't need an i7, let alone a 3930K for a rig, and you certainly don't need to spend $100 of your budget on case fans. But one thing you should never, ever do is overpay for a motherboard and RAM - and the Dominator Platinum is ridiculously overpriced for what you get.

I would get this:

If you want to stay under budget drop one of the GTX 780s or go for a GTX 770 SLI setup, then use the difference for whatever monitor and peripherals you want.

g-unit1111 :

OP said he needs GPU and CPU watercooling if you didn't read thread tittle and description..............
Also I had suggested Radiators Fans as they are necessary and it was for push/pull config , else the job can be done in 50 bucks , but if you have the money , why not ? and platinum can OC well , so I don't find it wrong to have , didn't add in mine rig as OP didn't mention RAM OCing. Also your above budget........

Take my loop if you want

Marcopolo123 · Jul 28, 2013

Custome watercool with 2 gtx 780 in 900d cant be done for ~2700$ unless its 2 gtx 770.

Marcopolo123 :

Agreed , thats why I went for a BitFenix Shinobi XL.

realchaos · Jul 28, 2013

The Swiftech H220 can cool the gpu as well if you just add the gpu water block and such:
"Unlike conventional AIOs, the H220 CPU cooler supports additional liquid cooled components such as graphics cards, chipsets, and/or additional radiator(s) just like a custom-built system." - Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835108183&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=)

@OP: What's your resolution? I see no point of SLI 770 or 780 if its 1080p.
