first custom water cooling loop build. help

[bacon9479]

so i am building a new build and am going to custom water cool it. a few things are im getting a 900d and im not sure if i should keep my i7 4770k. i will be running two 780 ti's and one i already have. i have an asus maximus vi hero and i think i should just get a new motherboard(maybe the Gigabyte X99 SOC Champion Motherboard). for my ram im running Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 and my budget for just the watercooling components are 1600 us max and the rest im buying noew as my hard drives and suck. but i am debating on if i should get an i7 5930k. my max budget on this build is 6k us. i am going balls deep with this build. all suggestions are appreciated.

I don't see much point in upgrading the motherboard, what do you have to gain from that? If I were you I would spend all the money on the neccessities for the costum loop, and some SSD's to sort out your harddrive situation. A 60gb - 120gb SSD reserved for windows, and another one reserved for games, while keeping files/movies/music on a HDD will do wonders for your computer's speed.

Spend the bulk of your cash now on case, radiator, pump, tubes and CPU block. Save up some more money then get new mobo/CPU/GPU(s) with the next upgrade.

If you're going to blow a wad on that CPU, why wouldn't you be putting 2 or 3 x Gigabyte Gaming GTX980's in and stepping up to the super premium MOBO's like the ASUS Rampage V or the MSI XPOWER, 1TB SSD's, and 16GB of DDR4 2800Mhz RAM?

Now that'd be worth a USD1600 custom loop!

and i was looking at reviews for the Gigabyte X99 SOC Champion Motherboard and it has to offer one of the best overclocking experience and i just love the look of it but i dont think its worth it.

Get something with a newer chipset from 2014/2015 - X99S chipset is what you're looking for - not an X79 - that board you picked was released in 2011 - that CPU was a gleam in someone's eye when that board was designed.

That ASUS Rampage V I pointed you to is an August 2014 release.
