I am pricing out some major upgrades for my gaming pc. I am looking at a 4770K and Asus Maximus VI Hero (link below). I have a Phantom 630 case (hard drive bays are full), and 2x Gigabyte 7950 cards. I would like to someday add GPU cooling to the loop, but funds are limited.
I want to move away from the self-contained closed loop coolers that I have been using, and start dabbling with an open loop. I am on a budget, and have been looking at the XSPC kits on FrozenCPU.
My questions: Can I fit a 3x 120mm radiator with push/pull in the top of the case? What is the better XSPC kit to go with (EX vs RS vs AX vs RX). Would it be better to wait and get a better pump?
