Help with setup

[Butterz]

Here is a picture of my setup. My plan is to cool the cpu, vrm, gpu maybe 2 or 3 gpu's one day. can you let me know what you guys think or do different and if its enough rad. (All rads are XSPC RX 60mm thick and pump is D5)

System spec will be: CPU 3770K OC, GPU 680 OC, MB Asus Maximus V Formula E-ATX, Ram Corsair Dominator Platinum 2400MHz 16GB, Fans SP120 Push Pull as quiet as can be.

here is my layout: (Format Res to 360 to cpu to vrm to 240 to gpu back to res)

I personally see no point in getting the 900D if you're only putting a single GPU in, and only using 2, relatively small rads.

You could fit those in a Switch 810 for less than half the cost.

If you're going to do this, I'd have said at least be using 480mm rads since you can fit them there. I know it's going to be slightly overkill, but all that space just looks so wasted to me.

Your layout itself looks fine - although putting all those tubes round the back, you may find you run into problems.

Be easier to do CPU > GPU > Bottom Rad > Res.

To me, with those rads, it would actually look cleaner to stick the 240mm in the front and have no tubing going down the bottom, as you wouldn't even need to with those rads.

Obvious layout to me would be Pump>360 rad ( go round the back) then: VRM>CPU>GPU>240 rad>Res

As James says though it is a very big case for comparably not a lot of kit. Make use of the rad space you would get with this and ignore 240mm and go for a 2nd 360mm rad in the bottom.

Thanks the point with going for 900D is then ill never need to upgrade the case when I add my GPU's in. My plan was to get everything ready for multi gpu's right off the bat so I just need to buy the cards and water blocks n slap them in with know problems! but thank you for your input.

In that case (pardon the pun) you really should ignore the 240mm rad and look at 360 and 480mm radiators.

ok how does this look im still not sure on a res though mite do a tube res or res at the bottom beside the PSU. my problem with cases is I like the looks of 900D I hate 810 I think its kiddy I am not into that so its hard to find a case that is really professional looking and basic looking and filters plays a part also!! I really appreciate the thinking you guys have^_^

That would be a better.

Please don't use a bay res in a case like that...
You have so much space to put a tube res elsewhere.

That's what im thinking ^_^ like my first pic with the res that way it hides the cut out and I can use the roof to fill it ^_^ I don't think I will even install my fan controller or bluray burner just leave them in this rig I have right now or ill put the fan controller inside the case just backwards :lol: since once I have it tuned I wont need it! so my water cool loop just went up like 60 bucks witch isn't bad at all!!! Thank you for your input!! luv to here from everyone since once I do this this will have to last me at least 10 years or more :lol:

Edit: I made a new pic (you can click on the pic to blow it up)
