Hello, as a lot of you know, I was going to do a system with a full loop, I went incognito with Chrome and built a system to the exact same specs without the watercooling, just a h100i and was about £1000 cheaper, would this be worth it or keep the watercooling?
Is it really worth doing a full loop?

An H100 won't cool triple GPU's very well 
Water cooling will take time to setup with the correct routes and bleeding the air out, but once done will look brilliant 
Sticking with air-cooled you will need to ensure you have good air flow, especially if your having multiple GPUS which I think you might be going for.

If your build is £1000 cheaper without watercooling you are doing it wrong.
What on earth can you be speccing to reach £1000 in watercooling?
p.s. Another thread really? Can you not just keep all this crap in one thread? Why the constant need to make multiple threads for the SAME thing!

It's certainly an option although an H100 cost's about the same as a good rad+fans, so you may as well just stick to a full loop.
Personally, I'd drop to dual GPU. 3 is cool and all that, but not really needed.

360 Rad, 240 Rad D5 Pump Bay Reservoir, XSPC Raystorm block for CPU, Corsair SP120's for rads, 16 fittings, 6 rotary fittings, for some reason 6m of tubing, Mayhems Pastel Red 2L, EK-FC Triple SLi Bridge Plexi, EK 670 Full Waterblock x3, That's it..
This post is showing what I am getting for the watercooling, would you guys think 8GB Vram is enough? For 3 monitors?

Vram doesn't get added up. Two 4gb cards=4gb Vram.

Vram doesn't stack. The lowest vram on a card is the highest you will get.
Whatever, still would it be enough for 3 monitors? On most games High or Ultra? Probably 4xAA?

Yeah, but two 3gb 7950/7970's would still beat them at that res for less cash.
