Should i ?

I've never had real water cooling only the corsair h60 closed loops etc , im just wondering will the temps be a lot lower than the corsair closed loop series or would they be close. If i where to watercool I'd probably only start with the CPU. Im not too worried about the cost of the watercooling because it looks so sick as long as the temp differences are good of course.

Ontop of this could anybody give me a rough estimate of the cost or spec me some cpu watercooling. thx

What case do you have? If you have space for a 240mm rad you can get a overclockers kit for around £185.

I'm most likely gonna buy the 900D

900D is a lot of case just to watercool a CPU, but at least if you wanted to add 4 watercooled GPU's one day you could lol. Maybe get a BlackIce SR1 480 for it which is over kill for a CPU but you could always then add a card without making any changes to rad, also won't look so small for such a big case. I would checkout other 900D watercooled builds and also do some research into watercooling etc the ocuk guide to watercooling is a good place to start.

Should I save £150 and go for a 650D ?

, I would have no problem water cooling my gpu aswell it's just that it looks complicated

I wouldn't recommend the 650d for watercooling you can only get thin 240/280 in the top and a 200mm in the front and the only 200mm rad is a Phobya which isn't very good. I regret buying the 650D.

I think ill buy the 900D and a h100i with some top of the line fans for push/pull and then in the future when im prepared to watercool the gpu along with the cpu ill buy watercooling

The 900D looks like a HUGE case. Are you sure you want/need something that massive?

Had done a lot of research on full tower cases and if I hadn't found my 600T for dirt cheap, I'd have been tempted to get an NZXT Switch 810 or the Bitfenix Shinobi XL.

For the above cases vs 900d, pay a few more squids and you could set yourself up with one of the watercooling kits from OCUK + case!

Just want to throw some options for you to look out for

The shinobi XL looks nice , my dream would to have one of the cases that mounts the motherboard horizontal
