I want to watercool my gtx295 and along with it why not my i7. My question is how much am i looking at price wise? What kit should I get or suggestions for building my own would be great, Rads ect. Suggestions guys please. Im tired of my hot 295 lol
 
ALOT the run of the mill gtx 295 waterblock is around $200, and the waterblock for an i7 would be around $70, i would suggest a feser quad rad, which is $160, if you do want me to put up a full list, post back, and i doubt you would be able to find a kit capable of cooling both an i7+a gtx 295
 
gtx 295 waterblock $180
cpu waterblock $75
rad $160
radbox(antec 1200's aren't really that great for wcing) $8(this specific version won't get crushed by the feser rad)
pump $65
pump top(needed for other sized fittings) $20
fans $5 each
reservoir(you could substitute this for something else) $25
tubing $3.05/foot(this stuff remains clear for a long time)
fittings $2.50 each
additives(required, unless you want algae in the loop) $2.50
hose clamps $1 each(get the same amount as barbs you have)
also, don't get feser one thinking that if you spill any on your stuff that it will be fine, thats all marketing bs, it does have a nice color, though
 
not really, the cheapest block for a 295 is around $169, i suppose you could cut the cpu out of the equation, and go with a swiftech mcr 320(in place of the feser quad), that would be around $175 less, but there isn't much else you could cut out
 
What are you using to w/c your rig? I mean do you think its benificial to w/c my gpu. The temps are fairly high but do you get a significant difference when o/c a graphics cards like you would with a cpu? If in the future I added a 2nd 295 would what you posted still be able to handel all of that?
 
you would see significant drops in temperature, i know with the feser quad, and cpu in the loop, you would probably see temperatures somewhere within 10 degrees of ambient temperature, and like i said, the feser quad is going to be essential in order for you to keep the cards cool
