It is a reference one that's what got me all runny, im just waiting to hear back, hopefully i get it but if i don't i have also found somebody selling a 670 that i may be able to get for cheap too, if i get this 780 im renaming my PC to pot luck :lol:

Looks like it was too good to be true, they deleted the listing and stopped replying after about 4 messages, oh well, plenty more card out there, the 670 was going to cost £220 but you can get 680s at that price if you look around enough, i think ill settle for a 580 because its still going to be the best graphics card i have had and there is only about 10% difference and performance which is pretty unnoticeable
Thats stolen or broken lol

Temps are similar but it's perfect to start your watercooling journey cause it's a real loop, unlike H100i. Plus you can add parts down the road if you need more cooling.
No its horrid. If you want to watercool properly buy proper parts. This will always look cheap and nasty. Its not what watercooling is about.
Do it right or dont bother IMHO

Im thinking of doing it properly tbh, have everything decided except cpu block, res, tubing and 240 rad. Only have £50 left to spend on that after i buy everything else. I am in love with primochill reservoirs and hose. Not sure if i can afford a primochill res though because cpu blocks by themselves can be about £50, i have seen deals in places of cpu blocks at about £20 and coolant and tubing would only come to about £15, which then means i would have £15 for a res so i would probably get a bay res that supports a d5 pump. If i sell my current cpu cooler say £20 that would give me enough for a cheapy 240 rad which means i will have my whole loop finished which im looking forward to. Everything else is accounted for already i just need to come up with another £200 which shouldn't take too long. And when i say everything else it is a secret just now and will be revealed when it arrives.

Alright a well due update of everything is in order,
I have new fans that are great but i have way more than i need and they are all on 12V because i don't have enough channels my touch fan controller, so im selling it to get a lamptron or something along those lines and i don't like having different fans on different speeds because it just does my head in. When the G1.Sniper RAM from Avexir comes out im going to get some. As for SSD ill just buy one randomly im not in a hurry because when it comes to work graphics is more important. So graphics, i am probably going down the 580 route unless something crops up with same price and better performance and can be watercooled. Im still saving for graphics because i only have about £100 to play with so im just going to keep saving because Christmas and my birthday are just in a couple of months really and i will probably get something towards it. As for watercooling i have all the stuff in my cart its just about waiting to get my graphics card(s). There is more to come of the custom front as i plan to get some... *SECRET*.
Im getting white primochill tubing because i thing it will look lovely, also you may be thinking there is decreasing amounts of green in the rig, well that *SECRET* will take care of it and so will the Sniper Ram. Also when i get custom extensions that will bring some more green. For watercooling im going to go with a 360 radiator in the roof and a 240 in the front. Im not sure if i want to get a Monsta 240 in the front or a slim one so i can keep my HDD bays. I could treat myself to a 1TB drive and a hotswap bay of course. SSDs would fit behind the motherboard tray too. I might get an Asus Xonar soundcard in the new year too because im getting new speakers in about a week and i wan't to get the most from them. I might get a bay res that supports a d5 pump too because i want to keep everything in optical bays out the way of everything else to get the best airflow. Anyway i can't think of anything else to add so ill just go on to pictures which i took a blooming load of because i had a nice amount of light, might be making a softbox on my desk too so i can do 3d scanning And also i might get into some sound design too so im getting a keyboard and condenser mic because i am a man of many talents Before i go off on another tangent ill add the pictures.
Also im getting a new camera for Christmas before anybody complains
