Was wondering if I should also get a water cooler and what case you would suggest.
 
What are you going to use for your water cooling loop? The 980 Hydro Copper only comes with a water block.
 
If you're buying cards with water blocks it's a huge waste to then just go AIO for the CPU.
 
So would you suggest getting the video cards without the water blocks and getting aio cooler or not even get a aio cooler?

I think if you wanted to jump to a full loop then you'd get a water block for the CPU and integrate it into your loop (including reservoir, pump, tubing, radiator, etc).

If you aren't wanting to fuss with it, it'd probably be a better decision to get 'normal' air cooled cards and go with an AIO like the 110i

Otherwise, looks like it'd be a pretty sweet build :D
 
Thanks for all your help Beers.
And yes it will mainly be used for gaming but I want something that will run top games in ultra high settings as well as something that will last me for a while and I can continue to upgrade over the years.
 
One last thing beers, this would be able to handle a 4k monitor or 2 if I choose to upgrade to that in the future, don't ya think?
