So I have some question about water cooling. The first question is are they worth the money to not only keep your computer running cool but also look good? The second question is if i decide to get water cooling instead of air cooling should i get just cpu cooling or should i also go through the trouble of trying to find or trying to modify a graphics card to work with water cooling? My third and possibly last question is not just about water cooling its also about a case. I've recently been looking for computer parts and one thing im looking for is a case. There is one case that caught my eye. The case is Deepcool Genome. The reason i was planing on buying it is because it comes with a cpu watercooling system already built into the case. Back to my second question is it worth getting just a cpu cooler or should i ditch the genome and get a case that i can have not only a cpu cooler but a graphics card cooler aswell? Any answers will do.

1. Liquid cooling is 70 percent about the look. Good overclocks are just as attainable on air, albeit with slightly higher (yet safe) temps. It's a bit more practical if you cool the GPU's as well. The GPU's IMO benefit far more. And when you add multiple GPU's it almost becomes necessary.
2. If your going to build a custom loop, go ahead and cool the GPU. It's worth the extra effort and much easier to do prior to filling the loop.
3. That case looks sweet but won't allow for a GPU without a ton of modding. Just build the loop from scratch. It will cost a lot more.

It depends on what you want out of your PC. I you like overclocking the CPU and GPU, then a water cooling case would certainly help. If you want an almost silent PC while running under full load, then water cooling is worth it. If you care about aesthetics, then water cooling would keep everything neat. Otherwise, if you only overclock you CPU, it might be better to buy an liquid cooling system such as a Corsair H100. If you want to get a liquid cooling kit, then a Fractal Define S would be a good case to get, as it is built with liquid cooling in mind. With all this being said, I have no experience in building my own liquid cooling system, this is only based on things I have read.
Thats what i was thinking. The case only really works for the CPU and if i wanted to liquid cool my GPU then that case becomes useless. There is another case i'm looking at that i think is a lot better. Its the Thermaltake core p5. Not only does it look awesome even without the liquid system it also has the space for the liquid cooling system to be installed. Do you think that the core p5 is the best choice or should i keep looking? I'm looking for something that is big yet still looks good.

You can pretty much build a loop in any mid to full tower case you want. It really doesn't require much. The core p5 is nice and if that floats your boat then by all means go for it. The p5 is nice in that it allows for a quad 120mm rad. which will make tubing a bit easier as oppose to having to run multiple rads.
Personally I don't think it works as well without the liquid cooling, tons of wasted space. This is a case you definitely want to build a custom loop with.
