I bought a Tt Core P5 case recently- a bit bigger than I thought, I must admit! I was halfway through a build and this was a case that better suited what I was looking for.
I haven't looked at water cooling for a long time, and need some advice on components for a GPU/CPU cooling system, for compatability as much as anything else. Any advice on individuals or systems much appreciated. Budget is about £400, but if it comes in less I won't lose any sleep.

thanks

I am by no means and expert on WC but built a system with that case not long ago

I went for a 480 RAD as it has space and seems silly not too

it was my first go at hard tubing but actually found it not too bad and quite therapeutic.

Edit::: only trouble I had with this case is the PCI-E riser.. the ones that come in the box are notorious for being back quality.. i had to dump it and buy one from the bay for about 23 quid.. but made all the difference.

I would highly advise using the EKWB Configurator... will give you a full breakdown of what's required. The only thing it won't do is tell you what angled fittings you might need, as that's very much case dependent, where your rad(s), blocks, res/pump are etc. Looking at builds people have done with this case is definitely the way to go though... lots out there, and given the open nature of it, it's easy to see what's been used.

Had a look at the configurator- definitely useful, thanks for the link!
Gave me a better idea of compatibility, guess I will be looking for something similar here that suits my case :)
