Dear All, I am currently waiting to build a computer that has a water cooled intel core i7-4770k, evga gtx 780, and will use a maximus vi formula, but I have a few questions that I need help with:
1. Can someone please help me choose between EKWB and XSPC for the water blocks, radiators, pumps, etc.? I am trying to choose the most efficient CPU block for ~90 US, GPU block for ~140 US, reservoir that will fit in a corsair 900d (~80 US), a quad radiator for ~168 US, pumps, and pump top for ~110 dollars and ~50 US, respectively, and comression fittings that are all for ~100 US.
2. Should I just use distilled water, a kill coil, and Pt_Nuke or should I try other coolants, as I have read both good and bad reviews.
3. Here is my current parts list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1927M
4. My budget for everything is ~$3000 US and if you take away everything and subtract ~350 US for the motherboard, that leaves ~807 US for water cooling gear.
Any input is highly appreciated
Thanks,
