my specs are:

i5 4670k

cooler master hyper 212 evo

asus maximus hero VI

g.skill ripjaws x cl9 1866mhx 8gb red

wd black 1tb 64mb

aerocool x predator x3 white

corsair cx600w modular

sapphire r9 290 reference

optical unit

i will switch out the psu for a better one. But will the h80i be enough for the r9 290 or is it a bad cooling solution? Please post recommendations on cloosed loop all in one water cooling solutions for the r9 290. Also, which psu should i go for with this build? thanks in andvance!

even the cheapest would be good over the stock cooling. but you'll also need heat sinks for the ram and maybe something to cool the vrm's. some people rely on the fan for that............ if you get one, where it says to mount the fan to blow air away from ............ make sure you face the fan so it blows down on the card.

maybe this?

i've heard that there will be no difference between the h50 and the accelero IV which means that it would only be more expensive for me, but how about the h90?

kraken x40 looks like the tubing is way thin. not much flow there. then consider the price over the h50.............for a gpu you don't need these high end systems.

for the r9 290 it could benefit. I have heard that the h90 is way better than the x40.
