Hi all, I have the following parts for now and wanted to make a PC which I could liquid cool in the future. (maybe 4-6 months down the line) For the timebeing I was planning on getting an AIO and an aircooled 1080 card which I could install a waterblock on later.

For the AIO, I'm thinking it's between NZXT Kraken x62 and Thermaltake Riing 3.0 RGB.

I also thought of the possibility of an aircooled card, selling it down the line and getting one that comes with a waterblock (eg: Zotac 1080 Arctic storm). Sounds like a lot of hassle though.
Would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

  • ■ Is it tempered glass evolv? I'd start with expandable AIO such as Fractal Design Kelvin, while your system is up and running on Kelvin, get upgrades and replacements (PETG tube, cable mod, Riing fans, non stain coolant dye, and Nanoxia coolforce LED fittings) one by one, until you finally make up your mind of how it'll look.
    ■ Expandable AIO is ready to use just like regular Kraken X62, performed not too far apart, later with EAIO you can also water cooled your GTX 1080. Minimum EAIO for 7700K+GTX1080 is 360 radiator, OCd 7700K+GTX1080 require at least D5 or DDC 3.2 pump + three more fans (push-pull radiator setup)
