Advice/tips for a water cooling newbie!

[ZigAlex]

Hey all, greetings salutations and all that

Basically I've got this new rig and am wanting to pimp it out a bit.

So Ill post what's what and say what I'm planning/hoping to do with it.

InWIN BLACK DRAGON RIDER GAMING CASE
Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-3770K
ASUS® P8Z77-V LK
8GB KINGSTON HYPERX BEAST DUAL-DDR3 2400MHz
3GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 780
240GB INTEL® 520 SERIES SSD
1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK
CORSAIR 850W ENTHUSIAST SERIES™ TX850 V2-80 PLUS® BRONZE
Corsair H100i Hydro Series High Performance

So that's the setup I have, what I'm hoping to do with it is add water-cooling block to the 780 only. However I am unsure weather that would be possible/feasible with the H100i in there. Or would it just be easier to replace that with a CPU block as well, which I wouldn't really want to do, but if it is necessary then I'd likely do it if I want to go ahead with this little project.

Also I'm kind of clueless as to what bits I would need other than the specific block for the 780 ofc.

Thanks

first off, welcome to oc3d

so, the case you got doesn't look like it's that great for watercooling without a lot of modding
also, GPU only loops tend to look quite weird and i really am not a big fan of those, so imo do a full loop or don't do it at all

other bits you need:
- radiator(s)
- tubing
- fittings
- pump
- res
- coolant
(- sorry if i'm missing anything important, quite tired)

Ah ok, well if the case isn't up for water-cooling without me putting my butchers hat on then I'll probably best leave it as is then. Cheers m8

8GB KINGSTON HYPERX BEAST DUAL-DDR3 2400MHz is working fine on that mobo?

So far, would there be something problematic in the future with it?
