Hello everyone, I have about 700$ to spend on my computer, I'm looking to add a custom watercooling and want to know what I need and any guides that can help me. I can look to spend a little bit more if really needed, my aims for the computer is high performance gaming and editing videos + photos. Some items are already owned, i'm looking to change up the few things marked with a "?". I want to try to keep my temperatures low, 40'c or lower.

Here are the components list:
Case: H440 or 760T?
CPU: Intel i7 3770k (owned)
Motherboard: AsRock Extreme 9 Z97?
RAM: 16GB DDR3? (HyperX Fury?)
GPU: Galaxy GTX970 HOF 4GB GDDR5?
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB (owned)
SSD: Crucial MX 100 512?
PSU: Corsair CS750?
Watercool: Swiftech H220x?

Thanks,
Any help would be appreciated.

You really don't need a 1000W PSU, the 970 is only 145W. A 600-650W should do just fine, perhaps a 750-800W if you plan to SLI later down the road. The H440 case is very nice and easy to WC. The Swiftech H220x is the best AIO you can get for your CPU, you can also add your graphics card to the loop if you want to.

Debating between the H440 vs 760T, not sure about the pros and cons. I'm on my phone and won't be on my PC for a while, Also if I were to get the H220x, how could I add a waterloop? Is there any videos or good guides on it?

You just disconnect the tube from one of the components (CPU block, radiator) and plum in the other components, such as a GPU block or another radiator.

Of course you need to remove it from case, drain it, add parts, refill, bleed the air out, test for leaks, reinstall ...
