Watercool help.

[Kbkasey]

Hello, so I want to watercool my CPU and maybe my GPU if my low budget is good enough.

My specs:

i5 2500k
Casecom KM-9188 - it's cheap I know... But it has pre cut holes for watercooling
Radeon HD 6870
Asrock p67 performance edition motherboard.

I don't think you need anymore information for specs, tell me if you do...

The budget is £140, may be able to push a tiny bit more.

Thank you..

Best regards

Your not going to be able to do a full watercooling build on that budget but you do have enough to get you started with some decent parts. If I were you I would buy this kit, this will be enough to cool your CPU but gives you the flexibility of adding new rads, blocks etc latter on.

I wouldn't bother watercooling your video card, a 6870 just isn't worth it. Most block manufacturers don't do covers for mid range video cards but if you really wanted to go down this route you could get a universal block (which calls the core better then full cover blocks but don't look as nice) along with some ram heatsinks. You would also need and extra radiator in there to cope with the extra heat to which I would say get an 240 rad which would be more then enough for one CPU and one video card.
