Hello everyone,
I decided that it's about time I upgrade my system and finally put it on water. I'll be moving my GPU from a 7950HD to a 780ti as well. I want to keep my build under $1000, preferably under $900 and the card already puts me down $599. So that gives me $300 - 400 to work with for the water loop.
As it stands I'm looking at getting the Raystorm 750 AX240 kit for $160 (http://shop.xs-pc.com/xsp/XSPC-RayStorm-750-AX240-V4-Pump-WaterCooling-Kit_39373.html) and then the 780ti waterblock & backplate for $110 and $20 respectively (http://shop.xs-pc.com/xsp/XSPC-Full-Cover-Razor-GTX-Titan--780_37414.html and http://shop.xs-pc.com/xsp/XSPC-Razor-GTX-Titan--780--780Ti--770-Backplate_37656.html). Bringing my total to pretty much exactly what I want.
All of this is in my CM Storm Trooper (windowed), with the 240 radiator on the top.
I'd like to hear your opinions/advice for this build. Is the single AX240 enough to handle a Phenom II x6 1090T and a GTX 780ti with mild overclocks? Or would an extra AX 120/240 mounted on back/bottom be necessary. And is that 750 rad/pump strong enough to handle the load I'll be putting on it? Finally, does the kit come with enough tubing, fittings, etc, or would I need to buy some more?
Thank you so much guys.
