So I need watercooling components for my 780 ti Classified, although I have no idea how to watercool. Sorry for being a noob, if anyone could list the things I need with links that would be most appreciated. Not much of a budget, just 600 or something. I also want the pc to have a red theme, although clear is fine too. Thanks!

I don't have any personal experience with water cooling. Might want to start a new topic for parts recommendation from people who own them.

You are just watercooling the graphics card right? It seems that you can use the NZXT Kracken with a Corsair all in one CPU cooler but I am not sure about the NZXT Kracken VRM cooling ability.

If you are considering the EK brand method then there would be more parts to consider and it seems the VRM issue is better handled.

It might be easier to just burn money on front intake fans. I dropped my GPU temperature by 10º Celsius just by adding a front intake fan running at full speed powered by the molex connection but it is a reference cooled 260x without that boxed in design though.
