Hi I have pretty much got my budget finalised I have £1300 to play with and I will need to include os. Tbh I wouldn't mind summit unusual like the new corsair cube case but really I'd like the parvum case in black with red detailing, the problem is i have no idea how much the water cooling would be in a single gpu set up and if its not that much i may be able to stretch a little more.

any help would be great!
 
Monitor I will be upgrading next year to 1440p and I can grab myself a keyboard and mouse it's a gaming rig that I want to run daily seen as I'm tired of consoles.

Yeah i like it a lot I seen a few project logs that have used that case and its what's inspired me I'm a little concerned bout the optical drive being on its side for some reason it never really worked on consoles they make abut of a noise unless its a slot?

I'm also open to the idea of a parvum although like I said I don't know how much extra the water cooling would be on top : (
 
Me personally don't normally spec optical drives anymore if I need a CD I will just make an image of it using another computer like a laptop and load it on a USB stick or an external drive as I think that they spoil the way the case looks and it would never really get used thanks mostly to steam and other DLC clients.
 
Watercooled Parvum :)

The price :(

You'll also need to budget for fittings, tubing and coolant.
I didn't include the fittings because you may want certain angled rotaries depending on how you set it up.

I daresay a few quid could be knocked off that.

Oh, and you'll probably want a few pwm splitters, if not a 5way and a dual.

By the looks of it water cooling bumps it up around another £300, can I use an h100 for CPU and a few fans to air cool until I get the bits to do a proper watercool loop? I only ask because I don't think I've seen that or a full on air cooled parvum?

Cheers for the replys
 
You're looking at around £400 odd with fittings etc if you're buying brand new.

You could use an H100, a lo-pro aircooler or even the stock intel cooler (no overclocking) in the meantime if you wanted :)
