Hi guys, I am gonna be doing a major upgrade to my current desktop - liquid cooling
I have read through all the stickies, all the guides and gone through all the videos on liquid cooling and have made a list of components from ekwb.com (its the only online shop that can deliver directly to me) so, I would like your thoughts and recommendations, anything that I should do to reduce cost, or alternate parts, etc
My System Build:
CPU - AMD FX-8350
GPU - Asus R9 290 (stock)
PSU - Corsair CX500
RAM - GSkill 4x4GB
SSD - OCZ Vertez 128
HDD - JBOD 4.5 TB
Cabinet - Silverstone PS05
The help that I need here - Do I need to upgrade my psu?? Recommend a better enclosure, for the new cooling, and will i need to worry about the cooling on the ram??
Liquid Cooling Setup:
CPU Block - EK-Supremacy - Acetal+Nickel (http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-supremacy-acetal-nickel.html)
GPU Block - EK-FC R9-290X - Acetal (http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc-r9-290x-acetal.html)
Pump - EK-DCP 2.2 (12V DC Pump) (http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-dcp-2-2-12v-dc-pump.html)
Radiator - EK-CoolStream PE 240 (Dual) (http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-coolstream-pe-240-dual.html)
Reservoir - EK-Multioption RES X2 - 100 Basic (http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-multioption-res-x2-100-basic.html)
Compression Rings - EK-CSQ Fitting 13/19mm G1/4 - Black (http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-csq-fitting-13-19mm-g1-4-black.html)
Tubing - TUBE PrimoChill PrimoFlex™ Advanced LRT™ 19,1 / 12,7 mm - Brilliant UV Blue (PFLEXA-34-B) (http://www.ekwb.com/shop/tube-primochill-primoflextm-advanced-lrttm-11-1-15-9-mm-brilliant-uv-blue-1.html)
Coolant - EK-Ekoolant UV BLUE (premix 1000mL) (http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-ekoolant-uv-blue-premix-1000ml.html)
Here, things that i want to know:
Is the pump sufficient??
Is the radiator sufficient?? (I prefer single 120mm)
I am getting compression rings x10, will that suffice??
Any input by you guys will be appreciated, since this is my first setup, i dont want to screw up anything. Also, it would be cool, if anyone can point these/similar parts that can be bought online in India, via a debit card
