When you add another 770 you will not have to change anything at all.... just plug it in, attach the SLI bridge and connect the 2 power cables....

Yes, this AIO will let you OC your CPU farther than air ever would, your build looks great! And when you decide to add in your ASUS card to the loop, EKWB makes a water block that will fit that card perfectly. Water really helps keep graphics cards nice and cool allowing a better OC on them.

One thing, make sure that case will fit your Glacer, some cases have problems getting a WC to fit inside.

Could you please hit the solution button on one of my comments, that would help me out a bit. It does not mean we will stop talking about your rig. Just hoping you don't forget, that is if I helped you out on your set up that is....

For the CPU no, it comes with everything you need. For your graphics card yes, you will need a water block, some tubing and fittings, I would also recommend adding another radiator (one large enough to handle 2 cards, like another 240). The pump on the glacier will have no problem supplying the CPU and 2 GPUs.

You don't need to do anything with the ram, it is fine as it is....

Your case looks like it will handle 2 x 240 radiators, one on top and one in front, you will need to move the lower drive cage fro the front one. But you had better search this and make sure.

is it possible for me to build my pc with the water cooler , and than later on buy the water block for the gpus ? and than once i upgrade to a 2nd 770 than buy another waterblock and another 240 radiator ? because the waterblocks are pretty expensive , i just wont push the OC on the gpus too much until i buy a water block .

Yes. sorry I thought you knew what I was trying to say. Yes of course you can. Just do your build and put the 240L on the CPU for now, don't worry about the 770, it has great cooling from ASUS now. Then when you are ready to put water on it get the block and tubing and connectors to add it in. Then when you get another 770 just do the same thing....

Your system is going to rock at stock speeds, the Oc is just icing on the cake. Do this if you could...

The Glacier is in fact a Swiftec H220 with a different name. Go here and read Martins review of the H220, you are getting the same thing by a different name. He is the absolute best water guy on the net and his stuff is rock solid. This will give you a good idea what is going on with your AIO your getting.

It's 12 pages long so it will take some time to get through....
