Rough estimate?

I'm a complete WC novice and have no clue whatsoever when it comes to prices so I'm looking for a rough estimate on a loop. Obviously I'd like to focus primarily on cooling the CPU but I'd also like to know how much it would cost to cool my GPUs in the future should I wish to do it.

Current specs: MSI G45, i5 3570k, NH-D14 cooler, 16gb Gskill ram, gtx 670 WF SLI, corsair ax750 PSU, m4 128gb SSD, m4 256gb SSD, 2tb barracuda hdd, scythe fan controller, 200mm CM megaflow, 140mm thermal right fan, 2x 140mm silverstone fans, corsair 650d.
 
Cost me over £450 to cool a cpu and gpu in a 650D, everything was new though apart from two typhoon fans.

It was your build that got me interested in WC, my wallet hates you :)


It costed me about £700 for CPU, 1xGPU, pump/res combo, bitspower fittings (this cost me like £150 of the total amount and you can skip it), 280mm+120mm rads + fans and all the other little things. I was limited in terms of space so I had to choose carefully and HAD to include angled fittings (expensive!). If you want, I can do a detailed price listing on all the items I bought to reach 700GBP

That seems quite a lot, not sure I'd be willing to spend that much tbh.

Gonna take my time and do a bit of research into what I need, in the meantime I'm gonna blow all my cash on a new phone :)
 
Roughly:

£60 for a pump
£40 for a reservoir
£60 for a CPU block
£80 per GPU block
£80 for a couple of decent rads
£50 for fittings
£50-70 for fans
£5 for tubing

When you add everything up it's not cheap but you can save some money buying things second hand as mentioned above.

Cheers for that, nice to get an idea of how much each part is. I'm in no rush to do this so I may end up buying it all over a few months or so.
