hello, im building a new pc and I may like to water cool it, as for the money and high-end components it would seem like the best option.

I would like to cool my CPU and GPU(s)
It will be an r9 290, and I may add another one on down the line when needed.
My full build is listed at the bottom.

My Questions are:

1. What components/Setup will I need to water cool my i7 4770k and R9 290.
(I Will add another later, but don't wont to buy the water cooling stuff for that now)

2. If I'm going to water cool it, is there any point waiting for the Non Ref 290's to come out?

3. Dose the air flow of the case matter now? And what is a good case for water cooling?

4. will I need some case fans still, for the other components.

Build:

Cpu. i7 4770k

GUP. R9 290 (Crossfire later)

Sound card. ASUS Xonar Essence STX

RAM. Dont know, Will be x2 4GB

Storage. 250GB samsung SSD, x2 500GB HDD (The HDD's are free)

MOBO. Asus z87 A

Power. Dont know, 800w to 1000w

Case. Dont know.

Thank you for reading :)

a you need tubing fiting preferably compression a cpu and gpu block, a pump a reservoir and a radior at least a 240 i would recoment 360mm and ek has great loop configuration tool http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/ and a no there is no point, b airflow does mater to cool hdd votalge regulators ect, for a case i would recoment the corsair 750d as a good inexpense case for liquid cooling and keep hte stock case fans just add radiotr fase and for radiators fans static pressure is the most importnat stat not cfm

Thant you for your help :)
Iv since made the choice to wait for the r9 290 non ref cards to come out and air cool, its just to expensive for me right now, the water block for the GPU alone would be about $130. I Can get top line CPU air cooler for $80-90. But Ill see how things go.
Thanks again :)
