Games mostly bf1, GTA5 @ 4K, other Games and VR-intense things.

I want High Settings @ 4K .
VR Ready.
And Ultra @ 1080p.
Noise level down to as much as possible, I HATE NOISY PCs!

A lot of people advised AIRCOOLING and I'll go with that but I want to use watercooling in the future so maybe the components (gpu) should be watercoolable?

 

[LiquidAirCooling]

Well that doesn't help at all but congrats.
Now as I said, only the NXTZ Kraken x62 and that's it? What about reservoir, pump?
Amd most importantly, the tubes of the NXTZ Kraken are NOT transparent which is a big minus since I want to use colored water.

I realize I am late to the ballgame here. too bad for that. Anyway I saw the case you chose. If your going with Phantek why not their most impressive case.

Heck your spending enough money already. What's a few dollars more.

 

[-HH-]

He wants sound dampening, urbancamper...

The kraken is an AIO, so everything is included!

 

[-HH-]

I'll look for AIO's with tubes but I dont know of any bigger manufactures making any

 

[-HH-]

ok, so the best option is to run one of these suckers

Make sure to get this with it;

I know it's a US link but you'll have to import, either that or run a fully custom loop.

 

[LiquidAirCooling]

Thank HH
That one looks better and shipment is fine all aswell.

Just a little question....... Best silent cheap GPU AiO? I don't think that will work because I would need to open the Graphics card and I don't really want that at all. I saw a pre "waterblocked" Graphics card by MSI one sec...

 

[-HH-]

pre waterblocked cards exist, if an ASUS GTX 1080Ti Posiden comes out that'll work if you want to link it into a water cooling loop.

Yeah watercooling becomes quieter effectively when you chuck everything into the loop, at that point you're going to be spending about 600eur on the full loop after the pump/res combo. it's like is it worth it for that extra few degrees...

 

[LiquidAirCooling]

The swifttech AiO that you recommended is according to pcpartpicker.com not compatible with the Ryzen 7 1700.

 

[-HH-]

according to the swiftech website it is, might not be compatible with the case hang on let me look at it - As said you have to buy a mounting bracket for it, PCPartPicker might not see that, if that makes sense

Ek recommend this to suit this build:

- Watercooling loop for 'silent operation' with blood red coolant.

 

[LiquidAirCooling]

The case doesn't seem to be as quiet as it should be. I looked it up and the Base 600 TG case looks fantastic and is quiet.

[LiquidAirCooling]

Absolute silence is possible!

[-HH-]

If you wanna build that case then fine but you won't have watercooling... Here's the thing man it's a balance and you have to compromise with something.

Yet again with the bequiet, you'll lack the ability to watercool; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmPhd6guJKI

It's your call on what you'd prefer aesthetics/performance or silence... Otherwise you're asking alot of impossible questions.

 

[LiquidAirCooling]

366.4€ for an AiO? Can't we go cheaper. I'm sure its possible.

 

[-HH-]

Well AIOs with clear tubing are a bit harder to find.

If you can find one of these it'd be cheaper. https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/Raijintek-Triton-Komplett-Wasserkuehlung_978423.html

Lian Li are releasing an AIO cooler that looks really nice sometime soon, should be somewhere in between the price of this and the EKWB set up.

Either way something like a kraken X62 is more than enough. As much as water cooling is cool and all, is it really THAT needed, especially when most quiet PC's use an air cooling block.

Might be worth checking this guide out though;

Obviously changing parts where you need to but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXZrWqCT7R0

 

[LiquidAirCooling]

The AiO listed abobe seems to not as good as other AiO cooler.

I found the perfect AiO but I'm not sure whether you already listed it on page 1,2?
AiO water cooling kit by swifttech :
http://www.swiftech.com/h220x2.aspx#tab1

And the brackets in order to mount ryzen on it:
http://www.swiftech.com/AM4MountingKit.aspx

I'm pretty sure you listed something similar.

Btw this AiO is silent to audibly acceptable according to swifttech and clear tubes.
Its also around 200 dollars cheaper than the EK configurator one.

I'm gonna test pcpartpicker.com with the AiO in 1 1sec. If I have to sacrifice the case in order to get this AiO inside then you know what to expect 😉.

This includes everything now.

Edit: I included a noctua dual heatsink cpu cooler if I change my mind about AiO. Its nice to see if everything is compatible if so then I can buy the noctua and upgrade towards AiO in the future.

 

[-HH-]

Just changed a couple of bits to suit the theme/colour side of things a bit better. Also changed the cooler, Noctua and BE quiet are pretty even.

I changed the power supply to support OC/ give you a bit of headroom.

Unless you have the noctua already by the way, that's the main reason for the price inflation, otherwise the other parts are mainly for look but you'll find the H440 is much easier to watercool

 

[LiquidAirCooling]

Is it just me or did the price for the 1080ti exploded?
Before 699 now 744.

 

[-HH-]

710, but yeah sometimes prices change up a bit; it's all to do with economy, exchange rates and all that jazz!

 

[LiquidAirCooling]

I made a cheaper list:

[-HH-]

Just changed a few bits; 16GB RAM; Case: H440, PSU: higher quality will support your system a little better. HDD and SSD

Other than my amendments good system

[LiquidAirCooling]

Thanks for the reply.
I like the modular PSU.
The problem is my budget shrank to 1400 but I added 130 on it so budget is 1500.
So 1700 is way over it (;.
The case should be sound dampened of course as this build goes 4k, vr and silence.
But thanks for answering.
Btw: You can swap the HDD out and get a cheap SSD and do that for the RAM as well which I did because since my budget is so tight and I'm never gonna be able to fill up more than 100gb in a month I would rather go with 1 month of tight SSD and RAM and then get in the next month 16 gigs of RGB🙂o) RAM and a TB of SSD.

Why?
Because If I downgrade from a 1080ti to a 1080 I would lose a lot of perfomance in my prefered areas: 4k, ultra @ 1080p, VR.
And it makes no sense to throw the 1080 away and buy a new one a month after for 800€ just because I want 16gigs RAM and more SSD storage which I could (will) upgrade both later on.
As I said swap HDD complely out.
