I'm thinking of water cooling my R290X to keep temps down and reduce fan noise. I read a few articles about water cooling, yet am not sure how I want to approach this and am seeking advice from the community. I'm looking to piece together a build that will be able to keep temps and noise down when I boot up Skyrim with heavy visual mods. A neat and clean install is also a must, and I would definitely want the rad(s) to be mounted on the inside of the case. Currently, my CPU is cooled by a Corsair kit which would be switched out to run off the new water cooling unit.
Ideally, I would like to utilize the top port on the case to fill my reservoir, which I would like to fit in one of the drive bays. I'd also be adding a fan controller along with a single BD disk drive.
What size/quantity rads do you recommend for this setup? It'd be ideal if I could have a reservoir/pump combo like XSPC, would this be enough to cool both my CPU and GPU?
Specs
Case: Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced
CPU: Intel i5 3550 3.3ghz
GPU: Sapphire Radeon R290X
PSU: Corsair HX1050
