Hey guys, just looking into upgrading my Case and maybe adding a custom loop in there somewhere.

**Current System**:

Case: Thermaltake Armor+
Mobo: AsRock Z77 Extreme 4
CPU: i7 3770k
GPU: Asus nVidia GTX 670 DCII
Ram: G.SKILL DDR3 16GB
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60
PSU: Corsair HX-650
SSD: Intel 330 120GB (BOOT)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB


**Case**:

I've been looking into the Corsair Obsidian 650D and it seems like it's a great choice just it is a little bit more then I want to spend.

Things I'm looking for in a case:
-Quiet
-Nice Airflow/Cable Management
-A 'Pretty' case with minimal LED's.

I'm hoping that you guys will be able to suggest a few that are under $200 AUD.

**Water Cooling**:

I'm currently using a Corsair H60 and it seems to be doing a good job but I'd like to also Liquid Cool my GPU. Currently my case has a 200mm side fan which is nice for air flow straight onto the GPU but if I do upgrade to something like the 650D, they don't have the side fan and I'm worried my gtx670 will get a bit hot. Also, I'm using a 3770k and I've finely decided to look into overclocking it for some nice speeds.
Right now, I have basically no knowledge with custom loops and I do not have any hands on experience with them. Basically, all I know is you need a Reservoir, Pump, Tubing, Liquid stuff and the blocks for where I want to hook it up to.

What I'm looking for;
-Quiet
-Cheap
-Possibility to upgrade
-Cool the CPU/GPU

I'm really not sure what to expect Price wise with custom loops, mostly just trying to get an idea on what a nice setup will cost.

Thanks!

**PLEASE NOTE**:
I'm Australian, so please AUD prices.

Thanks for the fast reply!

The H630 looks like it's trying to be sleek, but for me, just seems a little off and the 820 Is a bit out of my price range but the other two seem pretty cool. 530 is 169$ and 630 is $189 but I'm not too sure on the looks of the 530! Not much of a fan of the white/red but I'll def's keep the 630 in mind! Thanks!

Watercooling:

These are some parts that I have chosen, not sure if they are compatible or not but thought I'd give it a go!

CPU Block - XSPC RayStorm
GPU Block - Heatkiller GPU Backplate GTX 670
Pump - Phobya DC12-260 12V Pump
Tube - Masterkleer Tubing PVC UV Reactive Orange 3/8ID 1/2OD 3m
Res - Alphacool Cape Corp Coolplex Pro 25 LT
Rad - XSPC EX240 Radiator
Fittings - XSPC G1/4 Black Chrome 1/2 Compression Fitting

Including fittings this will add to about $300... Is there anyway to knock off around half of that (While still keeping a good custom loop)?
