Is the GPU watercooling worth it?

[FatalBurrito]

I saw the nzxt g10 and was wondering if it was worth the extra money to water cool my GPU? IS there enough room in the case for this and the h100i I am using for my CPU cooler? Also, can you guys recommend a cooler to go with it. Id like to stay in the $1250 range.I was going to use an H440 as my case before do you think this case would be better? thanks

Heres my parts list:

A GTX 970? No way do you need a water cooler. You'd be way better spending the extra money towards a 980, as they will both run plenty cool.

And since I see you're looking at only 8GB of RAM at 1600 (not overclocking), I don't think you need the larger H100i either- you could save money with a smaller, single fan water cooler mounted to the rear of the case... or even use an air cooler.

Ok do you think I should stick with that case or go back to the h440?

For your components, I don't think you need the size of the Phanteks case. I'm partial to smaller cases anyway, unless you're loading a bunch of drives for website or server needs. The H440 will be fine, and it looks nicer IMHO.
