Watercooling kit config

[blackcell1]

I've only ever really only used air coolers and aios and now that I've invested a large sum of money into my new rigg, the next step is to buy a full hardline loop for my CPU and GPU. Ive seen that ocuk have a kit config but I really don't know where to start, ive watched a few videos in the past on building and I guess my budget would be around 400 to 500 max without the GPU block.

Any help or info on what I should be looking at would be great.

Basic would be ;



Obviously the block needs to be AMD or Intel depending on your cpu.

Radiator - largely depends on your case and whether you can fit multiple radiators if needed

Fittings - 2 per components in your loop ( pump / rad / cpu block=6 , or 8 if you want the gpu block )

Tubing - order more than you thing you'll need, i've doubled up in the picture. Unless you are a genius, you will make mistakes first time hardline bending.

Then there are things link a heatgun etc for bending , drainage valve, random 90 degree fittings possibly ..............................

Lots of variables involved.

What case, what cpu, what gpu? Need those three variables to recommend compatible radiators and blocks.
