I'm fairly new to the world of computer gaming, especially building them, however, I'm going to give you my modest history anyway.
I've never had any experience with custom cooling, however I do have experience with closed loop cooling already put into place. My first custom gaming PC was one I didn't build, instead I got it from CyberpowerPC (won't make that mistake again). The fact that it was AMD just shows me how far I've come, another build in. This time I did a LOT more research, and while I based my build off of one I built in Cyber's configurator, I bought all the parts and built the thing myself, as I now knew Cyber's crappy reputation and my personal experience from them was less than ideal. The new one I got in August of this year, and it's a beast, with an OCed 5820K Intel processor (liquid cooled), 16 GB of 2800MHz Corsair Vengeance RAM, for the life of me I can't remember the motherboard model, I want to say it's an X99-Deluxe, a Titan X hybrid (for those of you who don't know EVGA made a liquid cooled overclocked version of said graphics card, and I know, I know, should've got a 980ti, sorry, but i like my Titan, as it hasn't gone over 45 degrees Celsius running a 2560 by 1440 monitor), PSU doesn't matter (or does it in a liquid cooled system, either way I want to say it's either 1000 or 1200 watts, corsair obviously), and the rest of the parts are irrelevant. The build above is what I want to configure into a truly custom system.
My questions:
Where should I go/ what should I do to even begin custom loop cooling (obviously I know the basic concept, just not what all of the parts are, where to start, etc). I have a fairly sizeable budget, and I want the best of the best, fans get annoying, so multiple loops, etc. I don't know. Basically I want a cooling loop where my system will be able to run for 4-5 years on the 2560p monitor at med-high settings and still be only 60 degrees Celsius on the GPU, CPU, and I don't know the max for RAM, I do know max for a GPU and CPU tends to be 85-90 degrees and that's obviously dangerous.
Would it be possible to liquid cool my Titan X with the looping system if I managed to remove the hybrid casing on it?
Can I liquid cool RAM with any type of truly custom loop cooling?
Case modding. I know the generalized concept of what I want, sort of an industrialized open concept, white, steel, etc., however, I have my setup in my basement and don't plan on moving, so lots of dust is probable. I still need some form of airflow so it doesn't stick on the individual parts in said build. So where do I begin there in terms of getting parts and materials.
Would it be possible to add a PS4 to the liquid cooling loop? I know adding it to the case mod isn't difficult, but is adding it to the loop possible? As well as adding it's power button to the PCs? I plan on having an easy HDMI switcher in case you were wondering.
Anyway, I think that's it. If you have any questions for me, shoot away!
