Hey everyone
I've been looking to upgrade my rig for quite some time and I wanted a solid system this time around. That means watercooling
I've read a lot of threads, watched videos and so forth but would really like some advice on the build. I've picked all the parts already, the only thing that is left is the watercooling and probably a new PSU.
The parts for the system are:
Asus Maximus V Formula
Intel i7 3770K
Kingston 4x4GB HyperX Beast 2400 MHz
2 x EVGA GTX 670 FTW 2GB
2 x Samsung 840 Pro SSD
1 x Western Digital 3TB Red
I have a SilverStone 850W Strider Plus at the moment and for the system itself, the PSU is fine. However, idiot that I am, I tossed the cables away some time ago thinking that I would definitely have to upgrade it for my next build. Then I saw a builder doing a 580 GTX SLI build with a 850 W PSU and well ... I realized that I had made a mistake. The extra draw from the watercooling kit shouldn't be a problem though I reckon? Hoping to get some replacement cables or I'll have to buy a new one.
I am looking to watercool the CPU and GPUs and they are going to be overclocked. However I am not really looking for performance as such, it's just that using watercooling you pretty much have to overclock. Just a bit at least
Other than that, I am mostly doing it because 2 670's under load is too much noise for my taste and then of course because I'm a geek.

This is the only shop that I know of in Denmark that sell watercooling parts. I could buy from a shop elsewhere in europe though if I had to, but I would need a good argument to bother with that.
I'm thinking of using a 360 Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 in the top in a pull config and a 240 Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 in the bottom in a push/pull config.
My choices for GPU blocks would be an XSPC block since it's copper as well. I seem to remember reading somewhere that if you mix metals in a loop it'll corrode the metals over time. Then it almost seems like a given that I'd use an XSPC RayStorm CPU head.
For fans I'd probably either go with Corsairs 120 Quiet Editions or Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1450 RPMs.
Where I'm really in doubt is the reservoir and pump, so I am counting on you guys. The easy way out would be to just buy something like a XSPC X2O 750 Dual Bay Reservoir Pump Rev.2, but that just seems too easy?
