Upgrade question

[twpbknight]

I currently have a H100 in my system (specs below) and am looking to add a 2nd evga 680. So my question is should i remove the H100 and go for a loop setup that includes the videocards or just stay with air on video and h100 on cpu

I7 3770k
6GB DDR3 PC 2000
GTX 680

What RAM are you using? 6GB isn't the best number for Ivybridge...
May want to sort that out first.

Secondly, what's the budget? Do you want to watercool? Have you done it before? What case are you running? Are the GPUs reference?

More specs needed than just CPU, RAM and GPU really

Kingston HyperX T1 series PC2000 - I was planning on going to 8 gb anyways in the next few months

I have the CM Storm Trooper, which is probably the American Version of What Tom is using on his Orca project.

My GPU is not reference its the EVGA Signature 2 Series

I do want to stick to water cooling cause i hate having the "jet engine" sounds from air cooling. Budget wise, im not looking to spend a thousand or anything like that but i know its going to run a few hundred atleast.

honestly, leave the H100 on and air-cool the 680(s). then when time comes,
build the CPU loop, save s'more and the nass the dual GPUs to the loop. granted
you'll prolly have to do what Tom's doing for ORCA to make the loop proper.
the skinny rad in the roof and the fatty in the front..

if you want to wc more than the cpu, i hope you werent planning to just used the same sized rad, ie 240mm...
