budget: 3000-4500
parts not needed: Case But, only if thermaltake 10 gt can handle a liquid cooling set up.
I've got a single GTX 560 ti. It worth buying another one of them or 2 more? Considering i much prefer dual GPU over single massive GPU. plus it'll cut some cost down. Also, Will my GTX card work with it's newer version the 448 cuda core? I'd assume but must be sure. I figure I could perhaps just buy another nVidia card to use With my current one. If I'm not mistake i can use Any 500 series card with another so perhaps just adding a 570 or 580 would work well. I prefer small cards. But, I also prefer to only have 2 cards.
website for parts. Newegg.com


Other notes; had a lot typed so i got rid of it.

TL;DR: I want to build an Overkill system capable of Quadboxing mmos. I want a single touch screen monitor. 2 24" monitors. Prefer multiple smaller gpus over 1 large one.
I will overclock and liquid cool the entire system, I am new at this so any videos or guides are appreciated. Remember MMO quad box so internet support Is BIG deal. By that I mean anything to increase the good internet stuff and reduce latency. I've got a currently in use coolermaster Thermaltake 10 GT. If this is capable of containing a Good radiator Then i do not need a new case.
I want something unique for this system that Isn't common. Maybe toss out the monitors and use a touch projection system. IDK something that'll be amusing to mess with and learn about.
Preferred price Cap. 3000$ Preferred but not limited to.

Well for watercooling you really need to learn some about it otherwise i don't recommend it it's also allot of money two cool two cards and your cpu your talking over $500.00-$600.00 bucks if you just want to watercool CPU then i recommend you don't mess around with "fisher price" watercooling such as H-100 and other closed loops instead i recommend a rasa kit one of these would be a good starter kit for you RS360

building a watercooling thing seems REALLY risky to me. Not too mention it isn't cheap. which makes it one of the harder things to learn for building a computer. Which is why I kinda want to do it now. Yet, i don't want to drive myself insane trying to do it. I've already got an H100 in use now. It's nice keeps the cpu cooled very well. But, I don't think they're really all as great as they set out to be.
Comes to the other thing. Maybe just watercool the GPUs and use My H100 on the CPU?
Otherwise I can put in about 500 or so into the water cooling. Preferably not more than unless truly necessary.

would it be worth it doing that you think or would i realisitcally be better off getting a Bigger gpu and watercooler 1 gpu + cpu? I mean quadboxing will be most intense on the cpu so It'll be overclocked no less than 6ghz if all hopes prove well.

not too worried about saving. I Prefer not to go over 3k but if i do it's not that big of a deal. I mean in the long run i can easily sell this computer for a good sum. The thing to me comes down to complexity. I'm new at watercooling but not building. I want something that will be worth the time to learn it. Be complex enough that it'll be a good learning experience. But, not too much hassle that it takes me 3 hours Just to learn what I'm doing. Nonetheless. I'm at 3100 with parts I'll look around for the liquid cooling stuff hopefull somewhere I'll find a decent guide or something for a How to buy the right liquid cooling parts lol >..>

Since I'm going to be WCing the GPU's probably should get the regular version you think?
since one of my GPUs is the MSI version would I require a different Block design? or is usually the only difference between them the cooling attached?
nvm. I found out otherwise. humph.

Lol I just don't want you to be disappointed - 6 GHz isn't going to happen without at least CO2.

Anyway, you should probably make another thread over at the watercooling section of these forums. You'll need to specify the make and model of your GPU if you want to wc it. I however recommend getting a new high end card that comes with the block pre applied, my last system was watercooled and installing the GPU block was by far the least fun.
