Water cooling wattage

[EX7NIHILO]

Basically im looking into a water cooling system(my first time) because my new FX8350 is running a little to hot right now for my liking, and i feel it will only get worse when summer rolls around. the location of my computer is right below a heat/AC vent so right now its got hot air being blown right at it which i figure is contributing to my heat woes.

My question is how much wattage does a water cooling system take? Im running AMD's FX8350(duh), Gigabyte GTX760, 8gig 1600mhz ripsaw ram, a CX600 psu (600wats), and 1 fan that came with my case.

The cooling system im looking at is either the Corsair H80i or the H100i, will my PSU handle what ive got/what i want? Im also not looking at overclocking anything. im hoping to not have to upgrade my PSU with it being christmass, and if i get some good feedback on this issue you could save me 100+ dollars!

thanks

The Corsair H80i or H100i should draw around a total of 18 Watts for the pump and both fans.

The Corsair CX600 (SKU# 75-001668 / CP-9020048) shouldn't have any problem handling the addition of an H80i or an H100i.

cx600 is enough for your system.it will suffice even if you overclock!! you dont need an h100 or h80 if you are not planning to overclock.if you are... both are great choices.you can olso try h60 2013 edition.its prety good too!

yeah i get that thier probably not the BEST choices if im not Overclocking, i just like know that the safety of my cpu vs heat is secured, im also upgrading because when the stock fan gets going(and boy does it ever, 4000-6000rpm) it gets loud! is the h80i or h100i more on the quiet side of thing?
