Hello all! First time non closed loop water cooling buyer here.

Firstly, price is not really a problem, dropping extra money for a nicer experience in the long term doesn't bother me in the slightest. High temperatures however do, especially with an Australian summer coming up in Canberra (Highs of 40-45 degrees) and my machine building programs remotely.

Current parts:
H75 on the 4770k. Hits high 80's under stressing with a gap between cores of almost 20 degrees. Yes I will be delliding.
Stock gigabyte cooling on the 290X oc model. Hits 78 under load with +40% power slider.

Ram etc are all fine with a case fan proving some cool air and I am already satisfied with their temps and performance so i have no interest in overclocking them at all.

1. I need help finding a compatible block for the gpu.
2. I need help finding a great bang for your buck cpu block.
3. I need help finding a radiator that will work well with the FT03 M-ATX, I have seen water builds in this case and looked into the parts others used, but i am looking for your suggestions.
4. Any other suggestions you wish someone had put in a guide when you first built a water machine, or any great guides that you followed and really helped.
