hey guys, im planning on building a destop that i could upgrade build without replacing parts, i will be overclocking my gpu and cpu slightly, and after 1 year i might overclock more so i would need liquid cooling. My question is: is my case, power supply enough for a full liquid cooling kit with a gtx 780 sli ?

Then worry about water cooling after the year if the air cooler doesn't do the job, to make a major overclock performance difference over the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, will take a significant water cooling investment!

Since you'll only be starting out overclocking slightly the CMH212 EVO will be sufficient, discover what you'll have in hand and what you can do with it, then consider later if water cooling is even needed.
