I want my build to be pure blue/black with inside lighting, that's why I chose the CoolerMaster 120mm Silent Blue LED Fan's for my 360 rad.

I am also wondering if I should swap the XSPC waterblock for the EK-Supreme HF Plexi waterblock for $79

Also, should I get this tubing: Primochill PrimoFlex Pro LRT 3/8" ID - 5/8" OD (10-16mm) Tubing : Blue / UV Blue (http://specialtech.c...-pid-11320.html)

Instead of the XSPC one?

Also the Primochill PURE Performance Coolant (http://www.specialte...-pid-13350.html), or the Primochill ICE Non-Conductive Coolant (http://www.specialte...-pid-13355.html).

Or something else?

Also, should I get a fan controller?

Deepcool Rockmaster $25: (http://www.pccasegea...oducts_id=18113)

Any other suggestions would be appreciated!

Also, do you know how much it costs for SpecialTech to ship over to Australia?

Thanks.
 
nice rig last first lol shipping depends on weight and method selected.

everything looks spot on to me the koolance fluid I saw somewhere somebody here said it wasnt that great the primochill looks good but check out mayhems stuff. fan controller is good for wc'd systems so you can control just the right amount for what ur doing. lastly look into some higher speed ram as SB will let ya use it better than older setups did. I have some 1866 on my SB rig would of gone 2133 but $$$ was tight.
 
Thank you for choosing blue over red

Isn't tighter timings better than faster RAM speed?

I am also picky with colour, so I need blue ram...

How about Kingston HyperX 2000MHz 9-11-9 timings?
 
the z68 smart response only works with spare SSD room so youll need a bigger drive. mechanical raid is pointless now. Get a decent sized SSD then just get a 2TB green for storage.

Also the 120mm fans youve picked are mega noisey.

Dont forget you'll need 3 decent quiet 120mm fans for the radiator and youll also need to REMOVE the 200mm roof fan

sadly dude because of the way YT messaging works if you need any other help it would be better to use the forums

That's what TinyTom said
 
an ssd alone will run faster than the IRST on the Z68 chipset all the research I di said that over and over I have no experience with those 90cfw 19dba fans but cooler master makes great fans I run the sickle flows which are 69cfm at 19dba and there not loud to me. but with 90cfm you'll prolly hear the wind blowing lol. But as ur planning on using a fan controller its kinda hard to say where they'll end up on the noise spectrum
