First watercooled system

[rebel rebel]

Afternoon,

I want to build my first watercooled system soon. Total budget will be appox £2000 to £2500.

I will use The Tower 900 Super Tower / Showcase as seen with the Infin8 Obelisk system.

Could someone please list the water cooler elements I would need to do this.

Thanks.

Ok it'll be a z390 motherboard and i9 cpu. Not sure on graphics card.

It will be built for looks mainly I guess. But obviously it has to perform too.

This was mostly a thread asking what the cooling components on the infin8 obelisk system were.

Looks like EK blocks in the pictures.

Picking the parts will be pretty easy as you wont have many space restrictions.
The time consuming part will be making it all look good.
Soft tubing would make life easier, but might not be pretty enough.

Personally I would go for something less ambitious on a first build as a case like that needs some scratch building to make it work.
It might take you a lot longer to finish than you think as there is a lot to learn.

z390 might be obsolete before you finish your first watercooling build in such a huge case

Yeah as the side panels are not available, it's probably better to pick another case, and perhaps use the Phanteks Glacier D140 on the back.

I said z390 as I was looking at the water cooled motherboard bundle's available here, but I'll probably go for for something a bit newer.

Thanks for your input!

I now think the upcoming new Inwin 905 case will be a better option for me.
