Watercooling newbie

[bloodkil]

In the next few days i'm looking to order some parts to fully watercool my PC.

Since this will be my first time doing a full custom loop, I have no idea what would be the best options in terms of what pump, res, rads, etc. that I should get.

I'm currently running the following:

NZXT Switch 810 Case (option for 360/420 rad)
MSI Z97 Mpower Max AC with a 4790K
Powercolor R9 290X


What would be the best way of me doing this, and what parts would you recommend?

Thanks

1x360 will be enough for you but rad space is king so the more the better

have you checked you can get a block for your specific card?

best off buying a overclockers "kit" and then adding any extras its a fantastic way to start and how I myself got into watercooling take my advise tho and order an extra meter of tubing

ad a block assuming you can get one and a couple extra fittings and your looking at £300

It's just a reference 290X, so I don't think the blocks are a huge issue.
