At christmas i will be having a budget of £400-500 to do some upgrades to my already very high end pc and my first thought would be to counter my heat (and noise) issue that im currently having.. so what i was thinking was either getting a NZXT Kraken G10 and a NZXT X40 or x60... BUT then i looked and it was going to be £90-£110 for all of that and i said, whats the point as i will still have general heat and ALOT more wires... so then i thought about getting a full watercooling setup, im not a noob, i know how to do it, and my dad has setup man of these in his time, it will cost about £200 but it will cover my cpu, gpu and POSSIBLY ram if i decide to go that route...
I am also wanting some more ram as i only have 1x 8gb stick at the moment and would like to have some more as i get to about 50-75% usage when im just on chrome (ALOT (average 30) of tabs lmao) and i would like some more of that and im just wondering if the £100 extra is going to be worth it... basically ive already got a Corsair H100 on my cpu as it is, but i could easily enough sell that and get maybe £50 for that, which is all i paid for it in the first place, and its not even 1 year old... just give me some ideas, and give me parts that i will be needed and you recommend i get, as in water blocks, reservoirs, tubing... im looking to go for a red and black colour scheme and if you could help me along as much as possible that would be amazing!
My Specs btw:
AMD 8320 CPU - Stock clocks
ASROCK Extreme3 990FX
Sapphire R9 290 GPU
Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600mhz RAM
Corsair H100 cooling the cpu
Sandisk 128gb SSD as boot
Samsung 1TB 7200rpm
WD 500gb 7200rpm
Help me out as it will be much appreciated!
