Hi people!

I am building my first PC with GTX980Ti soon.

I really want to make this PC "perfect!" to make it last 4-5 years without any problems...

I have few questions regarding water-cooling.

1. Is water-cooling necessary??

2. Any recommended store/website to buy reservoir, block, tubes and miscellaneous water-cooling parts?

3. Is it difficult to install water-cooling for the first time builder?

Your help will be much appreciated!!

Get a custom 980 Ti (EVGA ACX 2.0, Gigabyte G1, ZOTAC AMP!) and you should be good. If you factor in a full tower case and a self contained CPU water cooler hybrid(Corsair H100i, H110i), you can do alot in keeping ambient temperatures nice and cool.

Enjoy your new build!

Do not install water cooling. I am speaking from experience. Single leak and your entire unit is fried. Also you do not install cooling directly on the GPU, just ventilation for the case. The manufacture for that card (Gigabyte is my personal choice!) will install the fans on the GPU. You can do a lot though with a good case and some good fans for ventilation in your unit.
