Corsair 540 Radiator Help

[kitg90]

Hey guys I'm going to build my first water cooling rig and I wanted to ask a couple of things about dimensions before I buy the gear.

Specs:
CPU: G3258
Mobo: ASrock Z97 Anniversary

I plan to get the XSPC Raystorm Photon D5 AX240 Kit. I want to get another rad for the front or the top. I have been looking at some rads such as the Alphacool Monsta Rads.

I was looking at the 360 and 280 Monsta Rad to fit in the front. I was wondering if these Rads would fit?

I will be only cooling the CPU.

Thanks!

They wont fit with the 240 in the roof no mate - also Ill personally laugh at your if your rads dont match. If you are just cooling the CPU then all those rads are just plain silly and a waste of money. Youd be better off with an AIO unit and spend more money on a decent mobo because the one above is a bit meh or even a better CPU because that one doesnt get hot at all.

Your spec list is having too much money wasted on cooling.

Thanks TTL! The Proc + Mobo is just meant to be like an interim while I wait for Broadwell + X99 Boards! Thought I could learn and try to setup a WC Loop for the first time.

Even worse of an idea then fella. Get a decent mobo for starters and then go read or watch the Pentium review in regards to cooling. Id honestly not bother with the watercooling and get a better CPU
