Ok well my order has now been shipped so I have an air cooler now on the way

But going forward I would like to add / change to watercooling

I have a Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Full Tower Case
and I have an Asus X99 deluxe MB and a i7 5820

I have got an air cooler for it as I have spent that much I will not have the cash to add a water system just yet

So to me using the Bays for the pump / Reservoir looks the best option or is that not as good an idea ?


What would be a good radiator for the top and bottom as in the case.
I can free up that space a bit as I only use SSD and one normal disk so some of the HDD tray/storage is out

What connections are good .. would rather spend what is needed so I dont have any problems

and what fans .. are best to use

This will be to do the CPU and a graphics card later but id sooner get it ready so I can add that in or at least have an idea what I need in the end


Cheers

Richard

I believe a 360mm in the top or 280, bay or tube res doesn't matter, tubes tend to be quieter since they're deeper into the case.

Compression fittings, tubing, res, pump, rads, cpu block.

You've not stated your pc spec so no one can answer really.

16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX

Graphics card not got yet but looking at a 970 when the back account looks better so the one I will use will not be doing much

1000w Superflower PSU (overkill but head room as I see it)

when it comes to how much I am looking to spend .. it more what do I need to spend .. I am saving up so not an open wallet but would like good parts not ones I will go I wish I had spent more ...

if I said £200 and you said but for 250 you get more I would spend it would like to do it once
