Liquid Cooled/Waterblock from Visiontek

[Shocking777]

Hey, so i am relatively new to liquid cooling and i saw that Visiontek is making a liquid cooled 290 for 550$. I was interested in it but i have some questions. Because it places waterblock do i have to do regular maintenance and if i do what do i have to do? Is a mid tower case (Lancool PC-K63)
With
-i7 3770k
-MSI G43 Motherboard
-Patriot 2x8 GB RAM
-1TB HDD
-128GB SSD
-GeLid GX-7
-700watt silverstone PSU

Can handle the waterblock? The liquid cooled 290 from Visiontek is with waterblock and how do i put it into my PC? Is it like normal air cooled GPU or? Thanks in advance.

The GPU just comes with the water block pre-installed, thats it. And you will have to buy radiators, a pump, coolant, and tubing in order to actually use the water block...and if you do get a full custom loop, you will have to preform maintenance on it about every 6~ months...

the ONLY thing it includes is...the GPU with a pre-installed waterblock...THATS IT. And the other watercooling components can be costly and you have to change the fluids about every 6 months....(if youve never even built a custom loop, or if you dont know what it is...i wouldnt reccomend you buying this...)
