Hey all,

I am interested in building my own custom liquid loop or a closed one and i dont have much exp in liqiud cooling. I'm curious to know all the parts I will need from tubes, fans, radiators, etc. I was looking at NZXT Kraken G10, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... but im not sure if the cosair one is a closed loop or not. I know some people use 2 radiators..is it mandatory for a water loop? I'm also looking for something future proofed so i can possibly switch my gpu's with because i plan on getting an 800 series cards in the furture so it would be nice if they are supported. Also would appreciate some product recommendations..Thanks!

My current setup

AMD FX-9370 Black Edition 8-Core 4.4GHz
ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z AMD AM3+ 990FX
GPU x2 SLI: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 4GB GDDR5 w/ ACX Fans
G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB(8GB x 2)240Pin DDR3 2400mhz
CORSAIR HX1050 1050W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS GOLD

I currently have a CORSAIR Hydro H80i Liquid CPU Cooler. Would i be able to purchase one of the coolers i linked above and use it strictly to cool my gpu's. That would be nice in stead of getting full on custom loop.

I also have a CM Storm trooper case which should have adequate space for 280mm fans.
