So I am about to build my first gaming pc, and I have already ordered all of the parts, but one thing that I forgot to account for when buying everything was upgradability in the future. I don't mean upgradability as in a new cpu or graphics card, because I got got a 980 ti and an i7-4790k so I should be good for a while, but more so water cooling. Via a buddy, I got the Zotac Arctic Storm 980 ti which has a water cooling back plate already installed on it. I already have ordered a case that I bought because I thought looked really nice, and had a good price, the Deepcool Tesseract SW. My question is, in the future, would I be able to fit a custom water cooling loop in the case? Thanks!

Looking at it, if you removed the bottom two or three HDD slots, you could easily fit the pump there with the reservoir between it and the PSU. I still think it would work with minimal effort. If you plan it correctly you might even get it right there between the PSU and the HDD slots with no modification necessary.

Not to be completely rude and all, but you asked about a *custom* water cooler. By nature that means you make it fit in the space you have. As long as you have enough room for a radiator and fan to mount and exhaust, you will be fine.

Well what I was getting at was whether or not it looked like I would have enough room for the pump, reservoir, etc. because in the picture it doesn't look like it has too much room.
