I need your help/opinions

[teerwik]

ok, I'm going to be upgrading my computer next month and I'm planning on going with a xpsc water cooling setup or something else if u can give me opinions.

the case I'm using: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133188
Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128521
GPU: 680
I need a kit that can water cool my cpu,gpu,ram

I want to know which kit to get and also I'm going for a razer black,green color scheme.

I've about $500 in my budget so go wild.

btw it will be my first time doing a custom water loop, but I'm no retard nothing patience can't fix ^^

I would ditch the WC RAM idea...no benefit and highly restrictive.

Here is a good place to start with questions/FAQs:

question: do I need just one res/pump and 1 rad to cool my cpu and gpu? or do I need to get a second rad to cool the gpu?

this is the card I'll be using: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16873/ex-vga-06a/EVGA_GeForce_GTX_680_Superclocked_VGA_Card_-_02G-P4-2682-KR_w_EK_Waterblock_Professionally_Installed.html?tl=g56c559s1729

Why not just buy the card and block and install yourself to save some money? There are plenty of YouTube videos on how to remove a stock 680 cooler and installing a waterblock. Most blocks also include step by step directions as well. Just a thought if you are budget conscious. Just check if the card is reference or not using the EK Cooling Configurator http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/

As for the other components, why not get a kit with a 360 rad in it or are you concerned about mounting locations? Other than that, not bad choices for a budget beginner build.

There are also some other 120mm rads on FrozenCPU that are cheaper and would are just as good as that Coolgate. Here are a couple of excellent alternatives that might save you a couple bucks ($46 and under and don't forget fittings or barbs):

XSPC EX120
AlphaCool NexXxos ST30 120mm
Magicool Extreme 120mm
EK Coolstream XT 120mm
AlphaCool XT45 120mm

I don't trust myself to do it, but I think I'll go that route and the gpu and block separate. yea, with the case I've I'll would have to mount outside and idk how to even mount a radiator outside the case

Google your case model and watercooling together and you'll be surprised how many images/forum threads you'll find.
