What watercooling parts should i get

intelfanb0y · Aug 11, 2014

Hey i am making a water cooled PC i have everything chosen except the water cooling stuff.

What are the best parts i can get under $350.

I don't plan overclocking just very intense long gaming sessions.

Here is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CRC6NG

Thank You

Why bother with liquid cooling if you're not going to overclock? Just get an aftermarket air cooler for your CPU.

Agree with above statement

You can also get A LOT more powerful computer for the price you are paying for those components.

ok i will use fans thank you

Just get an air cooler, and use the money saved to get an SSD.

Also, remove the Wifi card from your parts list, that motherboard you have chosen has built in 802.11AC Wi-Fi

I care a LOT about sound what fans do you recommend

i love the build but is the mother board better?

intelfanb0y · Aug 11, 2014

and would 850 watts psu be enough for the build?

bradsctt · Aug 11, 2014

850W would be enough, if you wanted to SLI in the future the 1000W may be a good option to allow some headroom.

Novuake · Aug 11, 2014

Not really. But the one you chose is pointlessly expensive.
The one I added is MORE than good enough.

850w is enough for 2 of those cards in this build.

intelfanb0y · Aug 11, 2014

Everyone thanks a lot i am new to this site and its my first PC build

Novuake · Aug 11, 2014

No problem.

I would make these changes if it were my money being spent, first of all you do not need 16G of system memory because a large amount of it won't even be used at all, the modules linked below are 8G 2 x 4G kit Trident and are 2400mhz and using XMP profile in the BIOS will automatically set them to run for you at 2400mhz, which will be Killer for gaming.

I was running 32G then dropped to 16G and I'm now down to 8G and even the 8G is not even half being used while gaming, use Task Manager and see for yourself.

Since you're not overclocking I recommend this motherboard simply because you may want to do a little auto overclocking later, and you can, with this motherboard, that is completely up to you.
