Hi everyone,

Posted this in the general forums first and think I should have posted it here first so I apologise for a double post but I really could use some help.

My old and pretty poor system gave up the ghost so I have decided that it's time to build a new system and have picked out a shortlist and would like any advice anyone wants to give please:

Silverstone Temjin Tj07B Chassis.
i7-4770k 1150 Haswell Retail Chip.
MSI Z87 XPower Intel Z87 Mobo.
Seasonic Platinum P1000w Full Modular PSU.
Crucial M500 960GB SSD.
16GB Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Pro Series silver (1866Mhz) RAM.
MSI GTX 780Ti Gaming Twin Frozr Graphics (Probably 2x of these).
LG 16x Blu-ray Writer.
Corsair Gaming audio SP2500 2.1 speakers.
Creative ZxR 5.1 Soundcard.
Windows 7.

I am planning to watercool it as well so any advice for parts (Pumps, Radiators, Blocks etc) and setups are very welcome. I have been researching this for a while but all the advice I can get is appreciated. I have really enjoyed looking at the gallery of the water cooled systems built by everyone.

Thanks for any replies,
Divi
 
You can easily get a 120.4 rad in the lower compartment. Are you intending to just cool the CPU or GPUs as well?

If you are doing a CPU & GPU loop I would suggest a 480, potentially even with a 240 rad as well. This is of course overkill but you have picked one of (if not the best!) case for Watercooling, so use it!!
 
hi, make sure you dont wreak your gpu when fitting blocks to it, i over tigthed the block and damaged the chip on a hd7970 i was gutted. this was my first watercooling build.

will full cover waterblocks fit a twin frozr - must be of a reference design.

I Can't see it on the cooling configurator which isn't a good sign
 
Hi thanks for the replies.

I am having my first go at it so I thought I would get a case that can handle the water cooling for all the components inside it. Then set it up with Radiators/Reservoirs as if I will cool everything but start with just the CPU block and see how I do. Then do the rest if I don't screw it up!

**EDIT - If the graphics cards cannot fit the blocks then I will review my choice - Thank you for the heads up. **
