Hello,
I'm making this PC and would like to know your opinions if it is worth watercooling this beast.

Below is the computer specifications:

NZXT PHANTOM 820 CASE.

Intel Core i7 4930K Extreme Hex Core CPU
ASRock X79 Extreme9 Motherboard
EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Dual Classified
Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 2400MHz Desktop
Seagate 7200.14 3TB SATA III 3.5" Hard Drive
Samsung 840 EVO 500GB 2.5-inch Basic SATA Solid State Drive
Corsair AX860i 860W Power Supply 80 Plus Platinum

So do you think it's worth watercooling this PC? In the future I hope to have dual GTX 780's when I can afford. Or do you think I should just stick to a H100i CPU cooler and find a separate GPU cooler? Or even just cool this rig using fans?


Thanks,
Harry.

Im not using water cooling, however i used Noctua nh-d14 for cpu cooling. but i bought differenct fans cuz the fans that come with, though are queit but are not really efficient for cooling for ocing. I bought 3 ultra kaze fans and in the middle of the heatsink i put a i think either a bitfenix or a cool master fan not sure.
I also put 1 ultra kaze on the computer case so it takes in air.

P.S If ur going to use these fans be sure to get a fan controller cuz these fans are loooooouuuuuuuudddddd.

or u can just get a corsair liquid cooler.

The Noctua D14 or D15 will give similar performance to AIO liquid coolers for cheaper. Or you could liquid cool both CPU and GPU and use a Kraken G10 on the GPU for a lot cheaper than custom loop lol that's my eventual plan.
