Hi all,

It is now time to delve into the depths of watercooling.

I have read the stickies and I think I know my stuff. I need help now with what to buy. My case is the 650D so I am thinking a 200mm rad for the front of the case, and a 240mm rad for the top of the case. I have an i7 2600k and a AMD 7970 which I would also like to watercool. I already have the fans (Scythe GT's). The rest of the specs are in my signature.

Can someone recommend me the parts for the build out of what Overclockers stock? Oh, I forgot to mention, there is no budget, but please don't go overboard :P.

Thanks all!
 
dont have time to link stuff, but i run a similar setup with my 600t. and it runs nicely cooling the 690 and i7 :) you will enjoy it.

its not all fun and games though, ive had some scary, depressing and annoying experiences setting up the WC over the last few years. but its worth it in the end :)
 
I have specced some of the parts that I think I will need. Can I have some help with the fitting and tubing.

EK Waterblock EK-Supremacy Elite - Intel 1155/1156
Watercool Heatkiller GPU-X 7970 Ni-Bi
Phobya Xtreme 200 Radiator
EK WaterBlock EK-CoolStream RAD XT 240
XSPC Dual 750lph Bay Pump Reservoir Rev2 Multi Fascia

All I need now, I believe, is the tubing, fittings and coolant. This is the tricky part, what tubing should I get? 7/16 - 5/8? Which fittings?
