This is my first time using watercooling, and my first time fully part picking my pc. I do have experience buildings pc's without watercooling.
And i'm not 100% sure if i picked the best parts for that price range and even it everything will fit.

Here is the list:

Did few changes to improve quality and performance(mainly quality). Components from this site.

Thanks for your reply. I have looked at all the details.
My current gpu gtx 680 gets super hot when doing heavy tasks.
So i prefer water cooling for my gpu since my other gpu burned up after 3.5 years.

For the cpu an air heatsink could be fine but since the 8086k reaches such high clock speed, i was wondering if i needed water cooling.
The cpu heatsink in the picture appears to be all aluminum, which is less efficient then a aluminum and copper one.

 

[King Dranzer]

This case and that GPU both come with decent cooling and are of high quality. No need to get GPU water-cooled.

Unless you have dedicated budget for water cooling I recommend sticking with air cooled PC.

That CPU cooler I listed is made of pure copper and coated with nickel.

Yes you can get CPU water-cooled no problem. Get the below listed AIO.
Corsair H100i v2 Bit noisy but good at doing its job of maintaining temps in check.
Corsair H115i Pro Silent and does its job well. If you can spend bit extra go for it.

I would stay away from the 8086K. It's really pointless unless you want to get THE HIGHEST clocks possible out of the box. Otherwise, you're just wasting your money. Switch to an 8700k and use the savings to buy a watercooler, like the h110i or the Kraken X62. The one you listed is also fine. Air coolers have really improved in the last few years, plus the pascal cards run relatively cool compared to the 680. If you still insist on watercooling, then you might want to check out the Kraken G10/12 bracket. It allows you to mount a CPU cooler on the GPU, so you could watercool both your devices without having to bother with custom watercooling.

I would stay away from CM, DeepCool and Thermaltake AIOs with highest failure rate. Instead go for Corsair who are having best quality control and service attached to their AIOs.

 

[fisherhazzel]

Thanks for all the replies i have updated the topic using some new parts. I prefer water cooling for my gpu since i have had bad experiences with stock cooling, and the room the pc is in is pretty hot around 30 degrees Celsius.

 

[bmockeg]

I would recommend what others have said about the processor and recommend the 8700K. IMO you are wasting your money when you should be able to overclock a 8700K to 5.0 using an AIO water cooler. Kraken is good. I went with EVGA for my AIO.

 

[profoundnoah]

I still really do think that the 8086k is a waste of your money. By going with an 8700k, you'd free up enough room for a hybrid 1080, which would take all the troubles/risks out of custom water cooling, while still delivering great temps. Also, side note: If your room is already hot enough with an air cooler, it's going to be getting MIGHTY toasty in there when you introduce water cooling. This is probably a given, but I just want to be sure I'm covering all bases. The EK block looks fine, but please do note you'd need to invest in a reservoir, tubing, and an additional radiator. Not quite worth it imo.

[fisherhazzel]

Alright thanks for the help i updated the cpu to 8700k and the gpu to the hybrid one. I didn't really liked the look of the case i prefer Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Tempered. Which should be able to fit everything right?

 

[profoundnoah]

The Pro M should be able to fit everything just fine, but it MAY be a little cramped, haven't worked with the case before so I couldn't tell you.

 

[fisherhazzel]

Alright thanks, looks like the computer is complete any last suggestions before i purchase it?

 

[fisherhazzel]

Found a better looking case which should be able to fit everything i think: NZXT S340 Elite Black €89.95

 

[King Dranzer]

Stick with Enthoo Pro M or even better Enthoo Pro as they have better radiator support compared to any other case at that budget range. NZXT S340 is not suitable for this build as it will be cramped with radiators and perform badly. I highly recommend getting Enthoo Pro Tempered Glass RGB model if possible. If not try getting Enthoo Pro M Tempered glass.

Here is the link for Enthoo Pro Tempered Glass

[fisherhazzel]

Alright thanks this one is also fine right? Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Special Edition €117
I thinks that is what you meant with rgb model?

 

[King Dranzer]

No not the Enthoo Pro M Special Edition. I listed the case above Enthoo Pro case which is full-tower case not the M which is mid-tower. There is good difference in Pro and Pro M. Check the link above it is from retailer of your country Netherlands. Check the link above. It is not 117 it costs 105.

 

[King Dranzer]

There is no reason to spend that huge amount and go with Enthoo Pro M which is mid tower go for full tower Enthoo Pro. I only recommended Enthoo Pro M to cut down budget. If budget is no problem go with Enthoo Pro full-tower case. It has great radiator support.

 

[fisherhazzel]

Alright thanks so this one is also fine right?
