I am creating a build for my brother.
The PC will need to be able to do games but also music production, which is why the CPU will be an i7 4790k and the GPU will most likely be a GTX 970, although there is a very small chance of a GTX 960. He wants the Twin Frozr version of whichever.
He doesn't want a huge CPU air cooler in his machine and so I began to look at all-in-one solutions like my antec kuhler, but since I got mine a few years ago there doesn't seem to be much in the ways of improvement. I am trying to keep the price as low as possible and so avoiding dual radiator coolers.
So I started thinking about the price of getting a fully water cooled PC. How much do you think it would cost? If I got a cheaper GTX 970 and water cooled the entire PC, I could theoretically overclock it more. How much more would a full water cooling solution cost vs a £50ish CPU cooler + Twin Frozr?
(Twin Frozr edition is around £30 more than the cheapest).
I look forward to your advice.
Thanks

Since it is obvious that the price difference is quite large, I should probably look for the best value all-in-one cpu cooling solution, which is also quiet.
I can change the fans to better quality, quiet ones, if needed.
Which AIO water cooler would you say is the best for the money? I'm trying to keep price down so I'd rather get a cheaper one and put some good quality fans on it.
