Hello I'm a somewhat new pc builder and would like to be able to overclock a and also keep my pc temperature low. I have researched a lot and want to build a custom water loop, I don't know much about liquid cooling I mean I know a lot just wanna make sure I get the right equipment could someone please set me up a cart or send me links to all the parts I would need the color theme of my computer is blue. I have the m5a97 am3+ socket motherboard for the cpu waterblock. I have the gigabyte gtx 760 for my graphics card. My case is the enermax coenus. Have some extra room for resivore. I would like to cool my gpu and cpu. I would love if you guys could set that up for me. I am willing to spend around 230 max if you guys can. Thanks

First, you want the right case. A large case that is designed to incorporate a custom water cooling system is a must. Depending on how far you want to go with it, I highly recommend a quality case such as the Corsair 800d. If you REALLY want to get crazy there is also the Corsair 900d. Both are relatively expensive, but they are two of (if not the best) quality cases that you can buy. Here are links to both on Amazon.com. Please note that the 800d is used, but this may be a good way to get a bargain.

(As you can see, the case is even labeled for 'water cooling".)

And as for the watercooling system itself, I suggest that you go with a kit. This is the best way to go both financially and getting the right parts. This will be exceptionally fitting for someone who is new to it. Here are some good kits. Either of these cases will easily accommodate these kits:

To get a good idea of a custom loop and to learn a bit about custom water cooling systems, go to this link and read up about the different kits. You will benefit greatly in doing so. A custom loop IS the most effective in cooling, but they are the most complex as well. Do your homework and learn all you can, then decide on a system that suits your wants and needs. My door is always open for questions or concerns, so don't be afraid to ask! :)
