Hi all,
I'm contemplating putting my first WC loop together and was hoping some of the experienced guys could help put me out!

My rig:

I want to watercool my 2500k (oc to 4.8) and a stock 7990.
I have a coolmaster 1200w PSU.
My case is a CM storm trooper.

In the future I *may* chuck another 7990 in but thats a a year or two down the line at least, at which point I'm guessing I may need to get a different case but want to future proof as much as possible.

Would you guys be able to help me spec my build? I'm not afraid to spend a few quid but want to be sensible with the spend so top of the range components may be of limits unless they can really be justified.

Thanks for your time!
 
Ohh I should add, I want it to be as quite as can reasonable be expected, I'm not expecting it to be silent however (if it is, that would be lovely!).
 
you can get away with 480 of decent radiator, however the more rad on top of that, the lower you need your fan speed at.

Not familiar with your case, what radiator mounting is available to you?
 
You can go 2 x 240mm radiators if you take the HDD bays out and choose a thin enough rad. Maybe fit another 120/140 on the rear. Alternatively the cheapest most effective way is to use a large external radiator like phobya 1080 Rad.


Here is a build i googled:
